At the LIV Golf Promotions in Florida, several German-speaking pros compete for three spots in the 2026 LIV Golf League.
From January 8 to 11, the competition heats up in Lecanto, Florida. The LIV Golf Promotions bring together nearly 90 players from 24 countries—all aiming for one of the three wild-card spots for the LIV Golf League 2026. The path leads over four rounds of stroke play, with a new cut every day, and fresh opportunities. Those who make it to the weekend compete for a total purse of 1.5 million USD and a place in the global LIV Golf circuit. Ultimately, three spots for the LIV Golf League 2026 await, including guaranteed starts at all 13 events, while ten others secure starts for the International Series.
LIV Golf Opens the Door – Who Will Seize the Entry into the League?
Whether tour winners, former LIV players, or newcomers, this event features a high-caliber field. For some, it is a comeback; for others, a breakthrough. Among them are five German-speaking participants for whom this event represents a genuine opportunity and potentially the start of a new chapter.
Experienced Players and Fresh Faces Aim for LIV Golf League Spots
Max Kieffer’s appearance here might be his most important since his 2022 DP World Tour win. After 13 years on Europe’s top tour, his card is gone, and 2025 didn’t go as planned, missing Q-School. Now, LIV Golf is his next step, bringing experience and a readiness to prove he’s not done yet. Others like Dominic Foos, who won on the Asian Tour in 2025, seek to leverage consistency and international experience to rise. Nick Bachem returns from injury and hardship, Matthias Schwab looks for a new path after missing Tour cards, and Maximilian Rottluff brings his unique perspective after qualifying last year through this same tournament for the Asian Tour’s International Series.
Recognizable Names and Open Challenges at LIV Golf Promotions
The international field includes well-known names from the global pro golf scene, such as Ryder Cup participant Chris Wood (England), five-time DP World Tour winner Alex Levy (France), Miguel Tabuena (Philippines), and Pablo Ereno (Spain). Australian Christopher Wood, leader of the PGA Tour of Australasia, also joins the field. Former LIV Golf players like Anthony Kim, Matt Jones, and Ben Campbell are competing to re-qualify for the 2026 season through this promotion series.
