The 2026 LIV Golf Promotions Event will take place in Florida this January, with two league spots up for grabs. The field is now set.
The official 87-player field for the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions Event has been announced. The tournament will be held from January 8 to 11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. Unlike last year’s event in Saudi Arabia, which offered only one league spot—claimed by Chieh-po Lee—this year’s edition will award two. LIV Golf has also increased prize incentives and refined its promotion-relegation system in a bid to gain Official World Golf Ranking points.
Big names headline LIV Golf Promotions field
German-speaking players Maximilian Kieffer and Matthias Schwab are among the contenders aiming to secure one of the coveted league spots. Also competing are the top ten players from the International Series Top 20, including Philippines winner Miguel Tabuena, India champion Ollie Schniederjans, and Jakarta victor Wade Ormsby. These players are automatically seeded into the second round, along with former LIV Golf members Ben Campbell, Matt Jones, Andy Ogletree, Anthony Kim, Max Rottluff, and John Catlin.
Notable European names include former Ryder Cup player and BMW PGA champion Chris Wood, five-time DP World Tour winner Alex Levy, and former Open Championship silver medalist Tom Lewis. Other entrants include DPWT regulars Callum Shinkwin and Lucas Bjerregaard, as well as Walker Cup players Dominic Clemons and Charlie Forster.
According to LIV Golf, 50 of the 87 players have won a tournament in the past two years, including 39 different champions from OWGR-sanctioned events in 2025. “The development of LIV Golf Promotions reflects our ongoing commitment to creating truly open and competitive pathways for players around the world to compete at the highest level,” said LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil. “It will be a high-stakes, intense competition from start to finish, and we look forward to celebrating the players who earn their shot at LIV Golf’s biggest season yet.”
PGA Tour players still barred
Once again, no PGA Tour players will participate, as the Tour classifies the four-day event as unauthorized. Any member who competes would face a one-year suspension. Tensions between the two professional circuits remain high, recently reignited when Laurie Canter relinquished his PGA Tour card to return to the Saudi-backed league.
