Lee Westwood sensing major chance after finally ending painful LIV Golf wait

Lee Westwood had one of his best days on the LIV Golf tour since joining two years, after consistently poor form since making the controversial move with the veteran set to play in the over-50 tour

Lee Westwood admitted he’s not been working on his game as much as he’s used to doing – perhaps leading to his struggles since joining LIV

Lee Westwood has stated he feels he’s playing the best golf that he has in years since making adjustments to his game – admitting that he hasn’t put in the necessary work that he had before joining LIV Golf.

Westwood has struggled for form since making the move from the PGA Tour to LIV in 2022, failing to compete at the top consistently while plummeting in the rankings.




But the 51-year-old finished in the top five in Nashville after carding a final round of five-under-par at The Grove, while being in a four-way tie for third place with Jon Rahm, Joaquin Niemann and Bryson DeChambeau.

And the veteran has stated that he feels he’s in a good place moving forward, while being set to join the over-50 ‘Champions Tour’ in the coming weeks.

“I went to Nashville and carried on really with that theme, those swing thoughts. Putted well last week. I sharpened my short game up because I’ve been playing more, and my game is in a really good place.”

The finish had been Westwood’s highest since September 2022, when he tied for fourth place in Boston while on the LIV tour.
