The LIV Golf Invitational Boston was a golf tournament held in Bolton, Massachusetts, outside of Boston at The Oaks Golf Course at The International. The tournament was held in September 2022 as part of the LIV Golf Invitational Series, a golf series led by Greg Norman and funded by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.
