LIV Golf chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan is reportedly going to play in the PGA Tour Champions Trophy Hassan II Pro-Am, which will take place on Wednesday, February 21, at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat, Morocco.

Golf Channel's Brentley Romine reported on Tuesday that Al Rumayyan's name was listed among the amateurs contesting in the Pro-Am on Wednesday. Listed as a handicap of 12, he is grouped alongside Indian veteran Arjun Atwal and two other amateurs, Tarik Sijilmassi and Mustapha Terrab.

Rumayyan and his group will tee off on Wednesday at 12:10 pm local time from the first hole for the Trophy Hassan II Pro-Am.

Fans online had mixed reactions to Rumayyan's entry in the PGA Tour-sanctioned event. A few fans also took a fun dig at him for entering with the Andrew Waterman pseudonym at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last year.

Here's a look at some of the reactions:

"Don't care," one fan wrote.
"Andrew Waterman returns!" another commented.
"What are we supposed to do with this information?" another fan chimed in.
"GREAT to see! I’d place a hefty wager on his Excellence to win the tournament, if that were available!" another averred.
"Thought this was gonna be the Myrtle Beach YouTube tournament for a spot in the pga tour event 😂," one fan wrote.
