LIV Golf: Adrian Otaegui to return for season-ending Team Championship after DP World Tour victory

Adrian Otaegui will play in the LIV Golf Invitational Series Team Championship

Adrian Otaegui will return to the LIV Golf Invitational Series to compete in the season-ending Team Championship, less than a fortnight after winning on the DP World Tour.

The Spaniard played in three of the first four LIV Golf events since its launch in June, registering a tied-sixth finish at the opening event in London, although hasn't featured on the Saudi-backed circuit since the Boston tournament in September.

Otaegui has continued to play on the DP World Tour throughout the summer and became the first LIV Golf player to win on the circuit when he enjoyed a six-shot victory on home soil at the Andalucia Masters, with that success earlier this month moving him back inside the world's top 100.

The top 36 players in the LIV Golf Invitational Series individual standings - who have played at least four events this season - automatically qualify to feature at Trump National Doral Golf Club, with league commitments and captains' selections making up the remainder of the field.

Otaegui has been named ahead of Japan's Hideto Tanihara in the Torque GC line-up for the LIV Golf Team Championship in Miami from October 28-30, joining Joaquin Niemann, Scott Vincent and Jediah Morgan for the knock-out tournament.

The 29-year-old is one of two changes to the team line-ups from the final regular LIV Golf event in Jeddah from October 14-16, the same week as his Valderrama victory, with Henni du Plessis brought in to replace compatriot Shaun Norris in the Stinger GC team.

The top four teams after the seven regular events all receive a bye through the first round and automatically advance to the semi-finals, with the teams ranked between fifth and eighth then getting to select their opponents for the opening day from the four lowest-ranked sides.

Two singles and one foursomes match will take place in each quarter-final fixture, with the team earning two points advancing to Saturday's semi-finals played under the same format as the opening day.
