Villa Associate Joins LIV Golf Tournament League
New President for LIV Golf: Chris Heck Takes Over
Say hello to Chris Heck, the fresh face leading LIV Golf as its new president of business operations! After wrapping up a two-year stint at Aston Villa, Heck is diving headfirst into the Saudi Arabia-backed league. This move comes as golf sensation Jose Luis Ballester passes up a spot on the Korn Ferry Tour, opting instead to join Sergio Garcia's Fireballs GC team on the Public Investment Fund-backed series.
Top dogs in the league include Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, and Jon Rahm, who have signed up for this exciting venture. Heck's appointment is seen as a boon for LIV Golf, known for its extraordinary vision, as he brings along a sharp commercial mindset, a knack for employee development, and a history of driving growth.
The LIV Golf League features 14 events annually, each consisting of three rounds. A team series runs alongside, with the team's standings determined by the combined scores of its players. The top 24 golfers earn points, and high placings help them secure their place in the competition.
Heck expressed his delight about joining LIV Golf, stating, "I am deeply honored to support a global golf leader set on expanding the game's reach." As of now, Rahm's Legion XIII leads the team standings, followed closely by Garcia's Fireballs and DeChambeau's Crushers. Ripper GC is the only team outside the top three to snag a team title this season.
Golf enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The LIV Golf League is gearing up for its next event right here in Washington, D.C., this weekend.
