The third edition of LIV Golf Promotions takes place from January 8 to 11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. This key qualification event is played as a 72-hole stroke play tournament featuring a unique tiered format with multiple score resets to keep the competition dynamic.

On day one, the top 20 players and ties qualify for day two, after which scores are reset. The field for day two includes automatically qualified players, with again the top 20 and ties advancing.

Before day three, scores are reset once more. The final placement is decided by a 36-hole stroke play over days three and four. The top three earn places on the LIV Golf League, while the top ten secure full status for the 2026 International Series.
