The third LIV Golf Promotions event takes place January 8-11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. This central qualifier is a 72-hole stroke play tournament featuring a unique tiered scoring system with multiple score resets to increase competition dynamics.
On day one, the top 20 players plus ties advance to day two, after which scores are reset. Day two fields are augmented by pre-qualified players, with the top 20 and ties moving on again.
Another reset happens before day three. A 36-hole combined scoring across days three and four determines final standings. The top three players earn spots in the LIV Golf League, while the top ten secure full status for the 2026 International Series.
