A slew of LIV Golf players have been stranded in the Middle East amid the ongoing war in the region.
Laurie Canter, Thomas Detry, Sam Horsfield, Anirban Lahiri, Tom McKibbin, Adrian Meronk, Caleb Surratt and Lee Westwood were in Dubai practicing for LIV’s Asian tour stop when the United States and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, setting off a conflict that led the Islamic Republic to fire retaliatory strikes at targets throughout the Middle East.
Flushing It Golf was the first to report the news on Tuesday.
Westwood, Cantor and Horsfield are part of Majesticks Golf Club on the LIV circuit, and McKibbin and Surratt play on Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII.
In a text message to Golf Channel, Surratt said he traveled with his wife to Dubai for a few weeks to prep.
“And then world just came undone on Saturday,” Surratt said Tuesday morning. “It was terrifying. But since then, it’s been OK. It was bad Sunday and Monday here with missile interceptions, but all day today was fine.” He said Tuesday was “totally normal life, people walking around and such.”
Golf Channel reported Surratt was looking to get to Oman in order to catch a flight to Hong Kong, and Flushing It reported that other golfers were hoping to find similar ways out of the Middle East to get to Hong Kong for the LIV Golf event.
It wasn’t immediately clear if they had been able to do so with airspace still closed or severely restricted in the Middle East.
