LIV Golf continues to grow in 2026, expanding the field to 57 players with new qualification paths and wildcards.

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

Field Expands to 57 Players in 2026

The LIV Golf League will launch the 2026 season with an expanded field. Going forward, 57 players will be part of the league, up from the smaller fields previously. The league features 13 teams, each with four players. The field is complemented by 5 wildcard players who compete independently of teams but have guaranteed starts in all 13 regular season events.

New Qualification Opportunities

Through LIV Golf Promotions, three direct tour cards for the 2026 season will be awarded, up from the two previously available via 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 event serves as the central qualifying tournament and is played as a 72-hole stroke play competition. It features a unique stage system with multiple score resets to keep the contest dynamic.

On day one, the top 20 players and ties advance to day two, after which scores are reset. The field on day two is augmented with automatically qualified players, with the top 20 and ties again progressing to the next round.

Before day three, scores are reset once more. The final positions are decided by a 36-hole total over days three and four. The top three earn spots in the LIV Golf League, while the top ten gain full eligibility for the International Series 2026.
