The annual LIV Golf Promotions event returns to Florida in January, with two coveted league spots up for grabs. Full field revealed.
The 87-player field for the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event has been officially announced. The tournament will take place from January 8 to 11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. Unlike last year’s event in Saudi Arabia, which offered just one league spot, this year’s edition will award two. LIV Golf has also increased the prize pool and refined its promotion and relegation system in an effort to gain Official World Golf Ranking points.
Big Names in the LIV Golf Promotions Field
German-speaking players Maximilian Kieffer and Matthias Schwab will compete for one of the two coveted league spots. They’ll be joined by 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, along with relegated and released LIV golfers such as Ben Campbell, Matt Jones, Andy Ogletree, Anthony Kim, Max Rottluff, and John Catlin.
Other notable 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. DPWT veterans Callum Shinkwin and Lucas Bjerregaard are also in the mix, as are 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 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
Once again, no PGA Tour players will participate, as the Tour considers the four-day event an unauthorized competition. Any member who competes would face a one-year suspension.
Tensions between the two professional golf circuits remain high. The issue recently resurfaced when Laurie Canter gave up his PGA Tour card to return to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf League.
