LIV Golf field released: The 13 reactions you need

The LIV Golf Invitational finally has some players, so of course social media had a field day
 

After months of controversy, rumours, and some awkwardly out of touch interviews, the much-anticipated first field of 48 players for the LIV Golf Invitational Series has – finally – been released.

Two-time major champion Dustin Johnson shocked everyone as he was announced as the breakaway series’ headline star, while the likes of Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood, Louis Oosthuizen, Martin Kaymer and Graeme McDowell were also listed for the Saudi Arabia-backed league’s opening event at Centurion between June 9-11.

Equally as surprising was the omission of Phil Mickelson, who despite being tipped as a shoo-in to play in the LIV Golf opener amid heavy speculation and a high-profile hiatus, ended up being absent from the list. (For now…)

As you might expect, the LIV Golf announcement from CEO Greg Norman sent social media into overdrive. So, just for fun, I’ve picked out the best and most hilarious reactions, beginning with this classic from our very own Alex Perry – who absolutely did not ask me to include it…

Meanwhile, it looks like the LIV Golf Invitational has competition…

Announce the field, Nickelodeon!
