Anirban Lahiri

Anirban Lahiri, India’s top-ranked golfer, is joining the Saudi bankrolled LIV Golf Series and makes his debut in the $20 million tournament in Boston this week. 

Lahiri said his decision to join the LIV Series is an effort to achieve a "better work-life balance". The financial details of Lahiri’s Liv contract in the big money series have not been revealed. 

The latest list of joinees on Liv Tour include The Open champion Cameron Smith of Australia, Chile’s Joaquin Niemann and Americans Harold Varner and Cameron Tringale.

Lahiri is expected to play all remaining tournaments on the schedule this year as part of Bryson DeChambeau’s team ‘Crushers’ and will feature in all LIV tournaments next year. “It’s a new chapter in my life and one that I am really looking forward to,” said Lahiri, who has 18 worldwide wins under his belt. “I have found the whole concept of LIV interesting and alluring. They have so many new things to offer, which is nice at a time when golf tournaments needed a bit of a shake-up.”
