LIV Golf continues to grow in 2026 with an expanded field of 57 players, new qualification paths, and additional wildcards.

Starting in the LIV Golf 2026 season, 57 players will compete for points, victories, and team success. This expansion is made possible through additional wildcards and new qualification opportunities.

Field Grows to 57 Players in 2026

The LIV Golf League will feature a larger player field in 2026. Previously smaller, the league will now include 57 players. There will be 13 teams with four players each, complemented by 5 wildcard players who compete independently but have guaranteed starts in all 13 regular season events.

New Qualification Opportunities

In 2026, LIV Golf Promotions will award three direct spots for the 2026 season, increased from two in previous years.

LIV Golf Promotions 2026: A Stage for Rising Stars

The third LIV Golf Promotions event will take place from January 8 to 11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. This 72-hole stroke play tournament uses a unique stage system with multiple score resets, making for a dynamic competition.

On the first day, the top 20 players and ties qualify for the second day. Scores are reset before day two, with automatically qualified players added. Again, the top 20 and ties progress to the next round.

Before day three, scores reset once more. A 36-hole scoring over days three and four determines final placements. The top three earn a place in the LIV Golf League, while the top ten secure full status for the International Series 2026.
