Backed by the billions of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, LIV Golf has been a lightning rod of controversy since its inception three years ago.
The controversial start-up tour’s team championship will take place in September at the Carrollton club.
During the pandemic, Maridoe was the site of more tournaments than the rest of the world combined. Hailed by one event founder for answering a need “when not many others would step up to the plate,” Huddleston hosted, among others, the 2019 Trans-Mississippi Amateur, the 2020 Southern Amateur, East-West Matches and the USGA Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championship in 2021.
Growing up in Maryville, Tenn., in the ‘50s and ‘60s, the oldest of three sons of a former World War II pilot and his Austrian wife, Huddleston said they were, for a time, “poor as church mice.” His father, Gordon, never owned just one business. He sold Army surplus and Culligan water and ran a laundry. On Sundays he sold watermelons from a roadside ice trough under an umbrella emblazoned “King of the Watermelons.” Mondays, local authorities jailed him for violating Sunday blue laws.
You might have a hard time finding anyone in amateur golf who has any problems with him. Scott Harvey, founder of the East-West Matches, called his working relationship with Huddleston in pulling off the tournament “an easy, natural partnership.” But as a past member of the USGA’s executive committee, Smyers also is aware of the odds. North Texas has hosted only two U.S. Opens, the last in 1952 at Northwood. Not only is the U.S. Open booked through 2051, five courses — Oakmont, Pinehurst, Pebble Beach, Merion and Oakland Hills — corner 17 of the next 27.Advertisement
