Tulsa-area golf course added to LIV 2023 schedule

LIV Golf has added three more tournaments to its 2023 schedule, including one at a northeast Oklahoma course that previously held an LPGA Tour event.

The Saudi-funded league said it would go to Cedar Ridge in the suburbs of Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a LIV Golf event on May 12-14.

That will give Tulsa three tournaments in three years — the Senior PGA Championship in 2021 and the PGA Championship this year, both at Southern Hills. Cedar Ridge, highly regarded in the state, had the 1983 U.S. Women’s Open won by Jan Stephenson, and an LPGA Tour event from 2004 to 2009.

LIV Golf said its 48-man league (12 teams with four players) will be announced in 2023, when the total prize fund will be $405 million.
