Via a report from Sports Business Journal, LIV have confirmed Drummond will take over Mullins’ duties on the pre and post-game shows.
Drummond, a former Ladies European Tour player, will also be on the driving range during broadcasts to interview players.

Dom Boulet and Su-Ann Heng have also agreed to extend their contracts with LIV.
It has also been reported the broadcast team will have a new member of the team: Christian Cosby.
Cosby is said to be the new host of LIV’s ‘Club 54’ show which airs before and after tournament rounds.
“I’m not sure how often we do that”
LIV have also confirmed to SBJ their broadcasts on American network, the CW, will be rated through iSpot and Nielsen.
However, according to Will Staeger, the chief media officer of LIV, do not anticipate the figures on a weekly basis.
He stated that they do not view their numbers as a weekly story; therefore, he is uncertain about the frequency of their analysis.
“If there is a noticeable increase or a specific happening that clearly demonstrates our progress, we will consider announcing it through a press release or a news article.” “However, we have a positive outlook on the possibility of experiencing a rise in audience numbers during the 2024 season.”
