The 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event in Florida will award two league spots. The full 87-player field has now been revealed.
The 87-player field for the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions tournament has been officially announced. The event will take place from January 8–11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. Unlike last year’s edition in Saudi Arabia, which offered only one league spot—claimed by Chieh-po Lee—this year’s event will award two. LIV Golf has also increased prize money and enhanced its promotion-relegation system in a bid to gain Official World Golf Ranking points.
Big Names Headline LIV Golf Promotions Field
German-speaking players Maximilian Kieffer and Matthias Schwab are among those vying for a coveted spot in the LIV Golf League. 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). These players, along with relegated or released LIV golfers like Ben Campbell, Matt Jones, Andy Ogletree, Anthony Kim, Max Rottluff, and John Catlin, are pre-qualified for the second round.
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. Also competing are DPWT regulars Callum Shinkwin and Lucas Bjerregaard, as well as Walker Cup players Dominic Clemons and Charlie Forster.
Strong Competitive Field and LIV’s Vision
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 worldwide 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 Ban Still in Effect
Once again, no PGA Tour players will participate, as the Tour classifies the four-day event as unauthorized. Any member who competes would face a one-year suspension. Tensions between the two professional golf circuits remain high, recently reignited when Laurie Canter relinquished his PGA Tour card to return to the Saudi-backed league.
