LIV Golf, also known as the Super Golf League, is a professional golf circuit.
It was founded in 2022 with the sponsorship of the Public Investment Fund (the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia)1. The circuit rivals the PGA Tour (United States) and the DP World Tour (Europe), offering substantially higher prize money.23 The name LIV refers to the total number of holes to be played in each event (54 in Roman numerals, corresponding to 3 rounds of 18 holes), as opposed to the usual 72 holes (4 rounds of 18 holes) on other tours.

Alternatively, 54 is the score achieved by scoring a birdie on every hole on a par 72 course. 2 In March 2022, LIV Golf CEO, former professional golfer and former world number one Greg Norman, announced the schedule for the first season of the LIV Golf Invitational Series.
It consists of eight tournaments, to be played over a total of 54 holes with no cut. Each tournament will feature 48 players, who will be grouped into 12 teams of four players, with simultaneous starts. The total prize money to be distributed amounts to 255 million dollars.
The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they are played outdoors, close to nature and animals. Respecting the rules is a basic element in the game of golf, which, almost always based on self-control and the free conscience of the players, often sees distorted results, sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously or through carelessness, due to the failure of many players to comply with the rules of the game.

In addition to the rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, known as etiquette, which generally means playing the game with due respect for the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of this sport.
