With the considerable time difference between Riyadh and the United States, players will actually begin their rounds just after 6:00 PM locally in Saudi Arabia, while folks on the East Coast of the U.S. will be treated to morning golf beginning just after 9:00 AM ET. LIV events implement a shotgun start, meaning every player in the field will tee off at the same time, which makes for non-stop action throughout the broadcast each day.
