he 2026 LIV Golf season offers a chance for Smash GC and their new captain Talor Gooch to write a new chapter. Through two rounds of ROSHN Group LIV Golf Riyadh, Smash is not only off to a fresh start, but a red-hot one.
Gooch, in his first tournament as Smash captain, is tied for the individual lead at 10 under after shooting his second consecutive 5-under 67 on Thursday night. His club, meanwhile, has a three-shot lead in the team competition thanks in large part to Jason Kokrak’s bogey-free 8-under 64, the lowest score in the field through two rounds under the lights at Riyadh Golf Club.
