CONFIRMED Chicago, you’re up! The 2024 LIV Golf Individual Championship is hitting Bolingbrook Golf Club from September 13-15. Wanna be part of the action? Tickets drop May 8. Don’t miss out!

Chicago’s no stranger to LIV Golf, having hosted events at Rich Harvest Farms in the first two seasons. Greg Norman, the big boss, is all praises for the Windy City. He’s like, “Chicago’s sports fans? Best in the world. They live for this stuff.” And this year, it’s gonna be epic. High stakes, intense competition, and a fight for the individual title. Plus, a shot at the 2025 roster. Norman’s stoked to bring the action back to Illinois, promising a season finale to remember at Bolingbrook Golf Club.

Even the city’s mayor, Mary Basta, is on board. “We’re thrilled,” she says. “Can’t wait to welcome this international lineup of golf stars to Bolingbrook.” It’s more than just a game; it’s a big deal for the village and the club.

Remember Talor Gooch? Last year’s champ walked away with a cool $18m. But it’s not just about the money. It’s about securing a spot for 2025. Finish in the top 24, and you’re in the Lock Zone. Safe for another season. Fall between 25th and 48th? Welcome to the Open Zone. It’s free agency time, with a chance to get picked up by another team. And if you’re 49th or below, yikes, you’re in the Drop Zone. But hey, there’s still a lifeline at the Promotions tournament.

Joaquin Niemann’s leading the pack this year, with Jon Rahm and Dean Burmester hot on his heels. As for Bolingbrook Golf Club, it’s a gem. Just 30 miles from downtown Chicago, boasting that iconic island green on the 15th. Signature hole, for sure.

Tickets? They’re going on sale May 8. Don’t sleep on this. It’s gonna be one for the books.
