LIV Golf continues to grow in 2026 by expanding its field to 57 players with new qualifiers and wildcards.

Starting from the 2026 LIV Golf season, 57 players will compete for points, victories, and team success, made possible by additional wildcards and qualification opportunities.

LIV Golf Field Grows to 57 Players in 2026

The LIV Golf League will launch the 2026 season with an expanded field. The league will include 57 players, an increase from previous years. The league features 13 teams, each consisting of four players. The field is supplemented by 5 wildcard players who compete independently from the teams but have guaranteed starting spots in all 13 regular season events.

New Qualification Opportunities

In 2026, LIV Golf Promotions will award three direct tour cards for the season, an increase from the previous two available through this qualification format.

The third edition of LIV Golf Promotions will take place from January 8 to 11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. This central qualifying event is a 72-hole stroke play tournament featuring a special multi-stage scoring reset system, creating a dynamic competition.

On the first day, the top 20 players and ties progress to the second day, after which scores are reset. For day two, the field is supplemented by automatically qualified players before advancing the top 20 and ties again. Prior to day three, another score reset occurs. Subsequently, a 36-hole scoring across days three and four determines final standings. The top three players earn a place in the LIV Golf League, while the top ten secure full status for the 2026 International Series.
