LIV Golf Invitational Portland Preview
The second LIV Golf Invitational Series tournament starts this week from Pumpkin Ridge, excitement is well and truly building as this new golfing initiative is beginning to take shape with a stellar field on show this week. The LIV Golf Invitational Portland should be an exciting, eventful and entertaining week of golfing action in North Plains, Oregon.
This week at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club for the LIV Golf Invitational Portland tournament, the winning player will receive $4 million in prize money. The prize pot on offer for this week is $25 million, which will be shared out between all 48 players in this 54-hole, no cut event.
The team live at the venue took a look at, Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club and it is quite stunning and what a course. It was originally designed in 1992 by American golf course architect, Bob Cupp. It is a par 72 and is over 7,000 yards in length. There are three par 5’s, ten par 4’s and five par 3’s across the 18-hole course.
The pure scale of the contouring and landscaping of the course is mesmerising, with lots of hazards also strategically placed to make the course as difficult as possible for the players. Lush stands of towering trees frame the perfect fairways and manicured greens, creating a stunning tapestry for some world class golf to be played this week.
For us it feels just like an Augusta feel here and players who seem to fit that style of track might well be near the top of this leader board this week.
