Waiting for Mito Pereira: LIV Golf announces the date on which it will unveil the players for the 2023 season

The novel to know if Mito Pereira will leave the PGA Tour to emigrate to LIV, could live its last episode. This, since the Saudi super league has confirmed the date to meet the players who will represent each team for the 2023 season. If the Chilean’s incorporation is closed, his name will appear in the great ceremony prepared by the organization.

Obviously, talking about teams in golf is not very common, because in the most important circuits, all events (except the Ryder and the Presidents) are played individually. This is one of the big changes LIV has promoted since its explosion last year. They created franchises to make the game more exciting, allowing players to not only play for them, but also earn points for their teams. At the end of the year, a date is played in which only competes under the team format.

Here the role of Joaquín Niemann is key, since the man from Talagante has been the captain of the Torque GC since joining LIV . This will continue to be present in 2023, being the leader of one of the 12 teams that complete the tournament. But when will the names that will accompany it be known? The organization has announced that it will begin this Wednesday, February 15, when the Niemann franchise and three others confirm their golfers.

Logic says Mito Pereira should be there. The constant negotiations with the LIV, in addition to his close proximity to Niemann, suggest that the Chilean’s name will be among the players of Torque, generating not only a high level in the team, but also a gigantic commercial impact thinking about this which can generate in South America.

On the contrary, if the nationals don’t end up playing together, it is highly likely that Mito will still feature in one of the teams, since even his teammates have confirmed their arrival in the new league. This is the case of the Colombian Sebastián Muñoz, who in an interview in his native country announced the departure of the native of Pirque from the PGA. “The first contact occurred, above all, through Joaquín. I wouldn’t have been interested in LIV if it hadn’t been for the possibility of forming a team with my golfing friends, something I never imagined possible. It didn’t exist a year ago.” started by explaining to El Tiempo.

A sentence in which he immersed himself. “When he (Niemann) decides to leave, he starts looking for a way for me to be part of this team. Then Mito (Pereira) got engaged, Carlos (Ortiz) was already gone, Abraham (Ancer) was already gone, so I was left alone and started wondering what I was going to do.” confessed that will also strengthen the LIV for this 2023.

Statements that came to confirm two things. The rumor started in October with a possible leak of Mito Pereira from the PGA and the great influence that Joaquín Niemann and his entourage have in the circle of the best South American golfers on the planet. There are only 24 hours left to find out if another Chilean arrives at LIV. For the first event, a little over a week.
