This will be their 3rd year in a row going to Chicago. They were at Rich Harvest Farms the past two years, but it looks like Bolingbrook is a little closer to downtown Chicago.

quote:
“It’s been decided that after two successful seasons at Rich Harvest Farms, the club’s membership will not have any disruptions to its play this year,” Rich Harvest Farms General Manager Jonathan Meagher told Golfweek. “We are pleased to see that LIV Golf continues to have an event in the Chicagoland area.”

quote:
The 13th tournament of the season, the LIV Golf Chicago event will determine team seeds for the 2024 Team Championship (location to be announced), crown the season’s individual champion and solidify player status for 2025. Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, May 8.
“The passionate sports fans of Chicago have embraced the intense competition and fan-first experience that LIV Golf delivers, and this year it will be an incredible setting for a high-stakes event as players battle it out for the individual title and a roster spot for 2025,” said Commissioner and CEO Greg Norman.

quote:
Having said that, I know nothing about Bolingbrook.

Designed by famed architect Arthur Hills and partner Steve Forrest, Bolingbrook Golf Club, located just 30 miles from downtown Chicago, features a 156-yard island green on its signature 15th hole. The 7,104-yard layout offers rolling fairways and elevated greens winding around seven lakes. Selected by the PGA Tour as one of the host venues for the Forme Tour in 2021, Bolingbrook will host this year’s LIV Golf Chicago event

Not exactly a big time golf league, but they did get OWGR points.

The Forme Tour was a men's professional golf tour played in the United States. The tour was created by the PGA Tour in 2021 in response to COVID-19 pandemic related restrictions on travel between the United States and Canada, in order to provide competition for non-Canadian PGA Tour Canada members, with entry also available through a series seven of Q-School events. Eight tournaments were initially announced, to be held between June and September. The tournaments offered Official World Golf Ranking points, and the top five players on the points list at the end of the season gained Korn Ferry Tour membership for the 2022 season.[1][2]

Why would you highlight PGA Tour but not Forme Tour? When they were scrambling for events that could host a mini-tour event during COVID, not looking to host the individual championship of a league with unlimited funds.

The tour isn’t holding the Tour Championship there.

Auburn University Club also hosted an event as did the Purdue Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex.

For as much as pride talks shite about LIV, you sure do as much simping for anything they do

You and OKTiger are the same way on the opposite end of the spectrum. If the Saudis took a shite on a tee box and called it a course you’d claim it was widely successful.
