The annual 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 event has been officially announced. The tournament will take place from January 8 to 11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. Last year’s edition in Saudi Arabia offered just one league spot, which was claimed by Chieh-po Lee. This year, the stakes are higher as LIV Golf has enhanced its promotion and relegation system in an effort to gain Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) 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. They will be joined by the top ten players from the International Series Top 20, 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.
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, as well as Walker Cup players Dominic Clemons and Charlie Forster.
High Stakes and No PGA Tour Players
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 competition from start to finish, and we look forward to celebrating the players who earn their shot at LIV Golf’s biggest season yet.”
Once again, no PGA Tour players will participate, as the Tour considers the four-day event unauthorized. Any member who competes would face a one-year suspension. Tensions between the two leagues remain high, recently reignited by Laurie Canter’s decision to give up his PGA Tour card to return to the Saudi-backed league.
