The Cardinal at Saint John’s Resort is a new course, opened in 2024 – but this will be the stage where another thrilling chapter in the long history of professional golf is written.
LIV Golf’s Team Championship has already gained a reputation as a roller-coaster event full of shock results, sudden twists, and absolutely thrilling high quality golf.
Last year it was Ripper GC who walked away with the Team Championship trophy after a topsy-turvy final day in Dallas. The crowds that flocked to the Maridoe Club were treated to a fabulous finale to the LIV Golf season.
This year’s final event promises to be just as exciting, with so much riding on these three critical days. It’s time to get yourself a spot at the front of the line for grounds passes or hospitality.
The Cardinal at Saint John’s Resort – Michigan’s new gem
For the final stop in its third full season, LIV Golf is coming to a course that will have been open for just over a year when the first shots in the Team Championship are played.
When The Cardinal opened in June 2024, it was the first new high-end public course in the Detroit area for more than 20 years. Its creation was part of a $50million renovation of the resort, which is less than 20 miles from downtown.
Golf course architect Ray Hearn designed this fabulous new layout, and still found room for a seven-hole par-three course and a contoured, two-acre putting green. He said: “Our goal was to create a fun golf experience. I believe we have achieved that, and then some, with this project.”
The result is a parkland layout that combines a cool mix of established trees and well-placed lakes while offering 18 scenic holes offering a challenge to golfers of all standards.
This course is fresh, exciting, and high-quality – which makes it a perfect match for LIV Golf. No wonder fans in Michigan and beyond are looking forward to a fantastic three-day showdown at The Cardinal.

Hearn designed the course so that each of the 18 holes has its own personality, and the glowing reviews from impressed visitors who have played it since it opened suggest he achieved that aim.
