AUGUSTA, Ga. — The 87th Masters Tournament is most certainly not a LIV Golf event, and there is even more certainly no team element involved with it, but you wouldn't know it by the fashion choices of the members of the upstart tour who are still granted access here.

“Yeah, basically,” said Smith, captain of the aforementioned Rippers. Not that Smith wasn’t a bit sheepish about it. Fearing that Augusta National might swoop in and ban the logos — no indication they will — Smith packed a second set of clothes without the Ripper patch on them, just in case. “The most popular sports in the world are team sports,” LIV Golf explains, “and our league format has already begun to build connections with new audiences around the globe.”
So that’s what makes it slightly controversial that Johnson was proudly rocking a shirt with the LIV team logo of the “4Aces” — kind of a knock-off of the Los Angeles Angels — that he captains.DeChambeau, meanwhile, wore a white half-zip with a Crushers GC logo on it. Sergio Garcia had a dark Fireballs GC sweater. Is it possible all 18 LIV golfers who qualified to be here due to previous championships will sport their LIV team gear? Perhaps.
“There's a lot of chatter about these guys don't play real golf, these guys don't play real golf courses,” Smith said. “I'll be the first one to say, the fields aren't as strong … but we've still got a lot of guys up there that can play some really serious golf.”
