A mixed start for Kiwi golfer Danny Lee to the new LIV Golf League season in Riyadh

A mixed start for Kiwi golfer Danny Lee to the new LIV Golf League season in Riyadh

5 February 2026

Lee had a double bogey on the par-five third hole in his only blemish of the opening round, but fought back with three birdies to card a one-under 71.

He lies in a tie for 35th, six shots off the pace being set by Thomas Detry and Peter Uihlein .

Lee is playing for the rebranded Korean Golf Club this season, after they changed their name from Ironheads GC in the LIV off-season.

Fellow Kiwi Ben Campbell - and Rangegoats GC teammate of Uihlein - is a further stroke back from Lee at even-par.
