Report: Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson to join the LIV Golf Series
The next big name to make the move to the LIV Golf Series, a circuit funded by Saudi Arabia and led by Greg Norman, is another Masters champion, according to a report from The Telegraph.
Bubba Watson, a two-time Masters champion who at one point was ranked as high as No. 2 in the world, will join Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Charl Schwartzel, Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia as green jacket recipients to desert the PGA Tour.
Watson, who's last solo top-10 finish on the PGA Tour came more than a year ago at the Rocket Mortgage Classic (T-6), has missed a significant chunk of time this season due to a torn meniscus. His last win came at the 2018 Travelers Championship and he's fallen to No. 86 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Watson has 12 career PGA Tour wins, including wins at the Masters in 2012 and 2014.
