LONDON: Former world No. 1 Dustin Johnson will head the field for the inaugural $25-million LIV Golf Invitational Series event in England, the new Saudi-backed golf circuit said on Wednesday.

The American two-time major champion said in February that he would stay loyal to the US PGA Tour, but in an apparent U-turn Johnson was one of two top-20 ranked players listed in the field for the 54-hole tournament starting on June 9.
