The Saudi-backed tournament has been causing controversy within the sport.

The controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf series gets underway in the UK later.

Phil Mickelson's among the star names in action at the Centurion Club near London, where there's a prize pot of 16-million-pounds in the individual competition.
