A number of LIV Golf players, including Laurie Canter, Thomas Detry, Sam Horsfield, Anirban Lahiri, Tom McKibbin, Adrian Meronk, Caleb Surratt and Lee Westwood, have been stranded in the Middle East during the ongoing war with Iran. The United States and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, leading to a conflict that led the Islamic Republic to fire retaliatory strikes throughout the region. The U.S. Department of State has urged Americans to leave several Middle Eastern nations, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
