The 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event in Florida will award two league spots. The full 87-player field has now been revealed.
The 87-player field for the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event has been confirmed. The tournament will take place from January 8–11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. Unlike last year’s event in Saudi Arabia, which offered just one league spot, this year’s edition will grant two. LIV Golf has also increased prize incentives and refined its promotion and relegation system in a bid to gain Official World Golf Ranking points.
Big Names in the LIV Golf Promotions Field
German-speaking players Maximilian Kieffer and Matthias Schwab will compete for a coveted spot in the LIV Golf League. They’ll be joined by ten top players from the International Series, including Miguel Tabuena (Philippines winner), Ollie Schniederjans (India winner), and Wade Ormsby (Jakarta winner), all of whom advance directly to the second round. Also returning are relegated or released LIV players such as 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 Open Championship silver medalist Tom Lewis. Former DPWT regulars Callum Shinkwin and Lucas Bjerregaard will also tee it up, alongside 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 winners of OWGR-sanctioned events in 2025. “The evolution of LIV Golf Promotions reflects our ongoing commitment to creating truly open and competitive pathways for players worldwide 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 considers the four-day event unauthorized. Any member who competes would face a one-year suspension. Tensions between the two professional golf leagues remain high, recently reignited when Laurie Canter relinquished his PGA Tour card to return to the Saudi-backed league.
