Watch LIV Golf Portland event: Start time, how to stream for free
LIV Golf Portland will be the second event in the Saudi-backed league’s history and here’s how fans can watch Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and more.
LIV Golf is set to make its debut in the United States on June 30-July 2 with the Portland event being held at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club, which is located just about 20 miles outside of the city in Oregon.
This will also be the first event of the Saudi-backed and Greg Norman-headed league since they made high-profile signings in Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Abraham Ancer, Matthew Wolff and more. That group will join the likes of Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Phil Mickelson and others on the tour.
With the new names, though, golf fans are definitely interested in how the 54-hole shotgun start tournament will play out. And if you’re looking for how to watch, we’ve got you covered.

As the tour does not have an official TV deal, you can catch all of the action streaming live on LIVGolf.com, Facebook and YouTube.
This should be an intriguing event, if nothing else, with all of the new additions. However, one has to hope that the golf is a bit better than it was in London as the performances were a bit of a letdown, particularly from the biggest names playing.
