LIV from Mexico City, a golf league thrust into tumult

MEXICO CITY — A power outage, they said. Maybe so. But at this moment, I’m looking at a large, black, fire-breathing Día de Muertos-style skull with eyes that change color and a DJ inside its mouth pounding music as he overlooks a small body of water in front of the 18th green.A hundred yards away, at the first tee, more music is being played from a different speaker system. Bruno Mars and lively salsa music clash and compete — just as the artists intended. The power is indeed on, but the TV feed is off. The hospitality sections are full. The crowds are strong. But while the entire sporting world was trying to figure out the future of LIV Golf for nearly three hours Thursday, the only way to know was to be on the ground here in Mexico City.So yes, the show goes on here at LIV. Just nobody knows for sure what’s happening.Advertisement
