The official field for the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event in Florida is set, with nearly 90 players competing for two league spots.
The 87-player field for the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event has been confirmed. The tournament will take place from January 8 to 11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. Last year’s event in Saudi Arabia offered just one spot in the league, which was claimed by Chieh-po Lee. This year, the stakes have been raised with increased prize money and a revamped promotion-relegation system, aimed at gaining Official World Golf Ranking points.
Big names headline LIV Golf Promotions field
German-speaking players Maximilian Kieffer and Matthias Schwab will be among those vying for one of the coveted league spots. The field also includes the top ten players from the International Series Top 20, such as Miguel Tabuena (Philippines winner), Ollie Schniederjans (India winner), and Wade Ormsby (Jakarta winner), all of whom are pre-qualified for the second round. Former LIV players Ben Campbell, Matt Jones, Andy Ogletree, Anthony Kim, Max Rottluff, and John Catlin are also in the mix.
Notable European names include former Ryder Cup player and BMW PGA champion Chris Wood, five-time DP World Tour winner Alex Levy, and Open Championship silver medalist Tom Lewis. DPWT regulars Callum Shinkwin and Lucas Bjerregaard are joined by 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 evolution of LIV Golf Promotions reflects our ongoing commitment to creating truly open and competitive pathways for players from 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.”
PGA Tour players still barred from LIV Promotions
Once again, no PGA Tour players will participate, as the Tour classifies the four-day event as unauthorized. Any PGA Tour member who competes 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.
