At the LIV Golf Promotions in Florida, several German-speaking pros are competing for three spots in the LIV Golf League 2026.
From January 8 to 11, the stakes are high in Lecanto, Florida. The LIV Golf Promotions bring together nearly 90 players from 24 countries – all aiming for one of three wild-card spots for the LIV Golf League 2026. The path leads through four stroke-play rounds, with a new cut each day and new chances. 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. Ten more players will secure starting rights for the International Series.
LIV Golf Opens the Door – Who Will Seize the Opportunity?
Whether tour winners, former LIV players, or newcomers, a high-caliber field is present. For some players, it’s a comeback; for others, the first big breakthrough. Among them, five German-speaking participants see the event as a genuine opportunity and possibly the start of a new chapter.
Max Kieffer Eyes the Next Chapter
For Max Kieffer, this event might be the most important appearance since his win on the DP World Tour in 2022. After 13 years on Europe’s top tour, his card is gone. The 2025 season didn’t go as planned; he dropped in rankings and missed Q-School. Now it’s LIV Golf. The Düsseldorf native brings experience and a clear mindset that it’s not over yet: “We’re not done yet,” he recently wrote. Florida will show how far the road back really is.
Foos, Bachem, Rottluff, Schwab: Each with Their Own Story
A different approach but a similar goal: Dominic Foos made a mark in 2025 with a win on the Asian Tour. Consistent play and international experience paved his way into the promotions. Now he wants more. For the 28-year-old, a leap into the LIV Golf League would not only be a sporting step up but also a catapult into the tour’s spotlight.
For Nick Bachem, 2025 ended bitterly: injury, a form crisis, and last at Q-School – the year was not as planned. But those who know the 26-year-old know he doesn’t give up easily. Bachem has shown he can win at top level. Similarly for
