No matter your opinion of LIV Golf, the one thing they are doing is disrupting the modern professional golf with riches that the game has never seen before. Also there’s a handicap system giving the top-earning players in points a head start when everyone tees off.

The South African took home an eye-watering £3.2m prize at the controversial Saudi-backed event.

“We’re going to supercharge the game of golf and go round the world showing golf is a force for good,” he said with typical unawareness. “I had to stay calm, I made a bad mistake on 12 but I’m proud of how I hung in and it’s a great feeling,” Schwartzel said. If we know the players can be easily bought by LIV Golf’s seemingly bottomless resources, there are still aspects to the breakaway that require more than a little fine-tuning. They are the vast, life-changing sums with which the PGA Tour cannot compete and make no mistake, it is only a matter of time before the group of ageing rebels lured here are transformed into a highly competitive field. The eye-watering prize money on offer was a greater subject of fascination than any sporting merit and its pull on the golfing world only grows stronger as Patrick Reed and Pat Perez were announced as the latest established PGA Tour names to jump ship.

Ditto the grin of Hennie Du Plessis, a 25-year-old who came second and pocketed £2.2m on the back of career earnings beneath £400,000. When it was all done, after three uneventful rounds and a few more unconvincing interviews, they brought out the entertainment.
