The 12th edition of the 2024 LIV Golf season heads to a venue where history was made last year - the lowest round since its inception in 2022.
In fact, at the 2023 LIV Golf Greenbrier tournament, Crushers GC captain Bryson DeChambeau didn't just shoot the lowest round LIV Golf has seen so far, but one of the lowest on any circuit, with an astounding 12-under 58 in the final round to romp to victory.
That matched the lowest score in PGA Tour history, achieved by Jim Furyk in the 2016 Travelers Championship, so it's unlikely to be beaten any time soon. However, there have been some other admirably low-scoring rounds from various players through its three seasons.
The player who has come closest to matching DeChambeau’s extraordinary feat so far is Torque GC captain Joaquin Niemann, whose incredible 59 in the opening round of the 2024 season at Mayakobo meant he could even afford a two-shot penalty in the third round before eventually claiming his maiden LIV Golf title.
After almost three seasons, those efforts by DeChambeau and Niemann remain the only two sub-60 rounds, although a clutch of other players have got within two of that milestone.

Incredibly, one of those is DeChambeau, who served notice of the fireworks to come during the second round at Greenbrier when he shot a nine-under 61 a day earlier. He wasn't the first to achieve it that week, though. The day before, Matthew Wolff showed DeChambeau what could be done when he shot 61 to set the early pace.
Three others have also achieved the score, and all at the 2023 LIV Golf Tulsa event. Stinger GC’s Branden Grace was the first to do it during the opening round, before Harold Varner III and Ripper GC captain Cameron Smith matched the score two rounds later.

Surprisingly, 12 players have shot a 62 (five more than have managed a 63). The first was Majesticks GC co-captain Lee Westwood in the third round of the 2022 LIV Golf Boston event, before Brooks Koepka got in on the act later that season in the first round in Jeddah.
In 2023, Koepka was at it again in Jeddah with 62 in the second round, while Scott Vincent ensured he didn't miss out on the birdie-fest with 62 the same day. Talor Gooch then managed it there the day after. For last year’s Individual Champion, though, the highlight was back-to-back 62s in the first two rounds of his win at LIV Golf Adelaide.

Also in 2023, Vincent hit another 62 in Singapore, while Sebastian Munoz was another to manage it twice, in his first round in Orlando and third round in Tulsa. Meanwhile, Andy Ogletree shot 62 in his third round of the same tournament. Mito Pereira shot his one LIV Golf 62 so far in the second round at the 2023 LIV Golf Greenbrier.
The score has also been reached a handful of times in the 2024 season. Abraham Ancer did it in the second round of his win at LIV Golf Hong Kong, while DeChambeau managed it at the same stage in Las Vegas, along with winner Dustin Johnson.
Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm also hit 62 in the first round of the 2024 LIV Golf Jeddah before Jason Kokrak matched the feat the day after.
