The annual LIV Golf Promotions event in Florida will award two league spots in January. The full 87-player field is now confirmed.
The 87-player field for the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event has been announced. The tournament will take place from January 8–11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. Last year’s event in Saudi Arabia offered just one league spot, which was claimed by Chieh-po Lee. This year, LIV Golf has increased the stakes and revamped its promotion-relegation system in an effort to gain Official World Golf Ranking points.
Big names headline LIV Golf Promotions field
German-speaking players Maximilian Kieffer and Matthias Schwab will compete for one of the coveted league spots. Also in the field are ten of the top 20 players from the International Series, including Miguel Tabuena (Philippines winner), Ollie Schniederjans (India winner), and Wade Ormsby (Jakarta winner). These players are already qualified for the second round, as are relegated and released LIV players such as Ben Campbell, Matt Jones, Andy Ogletree, Anthony Kim, Max Rottluff, and John Catlin.
Notable European names include former Ryder Cup player and BMW PGA champion Chris Wood, five-time DP World Tour winner Alex Levy, and former Open Championship silver medalist Tom Lewis. Former DPWT regulars Callum Shinkwin and Lucas Bjerregaard are also in the field, along with Walker Cup players Dominic Clemons and Charlie Forster.
According to LIV Golf, 50 of the 87 players have won a tournament in the past two years, including 39 different winners of OWGR-sanctioned events in 2025. “The development of LIV Golf Promotions reflects our ongoing commitment to creating truly open and competitive pathways for players around the world to compete at the highest level,” said LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil. “It will be a high-stakes, intense competition from start to finish, and we look forward to celebrating the players who earn their shot at LIV Golf’s biggest season yet.”
No PGA Tour players allowed
Once again, no PGA Tour players will participate, as the Tour classifies the four-day event as an unauthorized competition. Any PGA Tour member who takes part would face a one-year suspension.
The relationship between the two professional golf leagues remains tense. A recent flashpoint came when Laurie Canter relinquished his PGA Tour card to return to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf League.
