The LIV Golf Invitational Bedminster is a professional golf tournament that was held in Bedminster, New Jersey, outside of New York City. The tournament was held in July 2022, at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster and was the third event for LIV Golf, a new golf series led by Greg Norman and funded by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.

Format

The tournament was a 54-hole individual stroke play event, with a team element. Four man teams were selected via a draft by their designated team captains, with a set number of their total scores counting for the team on each day. Each round commenced with a shotgun start, with the leaders beginning on the first hole for the final round, in order to finish on the eighteenth.[2]

Inaugural field

The field for the inaugural event was announced on July 19. 45 of the 48 players were named, with the remaining three to be confirmed.[3][4] The following day they were confirmed as Henrik Stenson (who had been relieved from his position as captain of the European Ryder Cup team earlier in the day), Jason Kokrak and Charles Howell III.[lower-alpha 1]
