The 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event in Florida will feature 87 players competing for two coveted spots in the league.
The official field for the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event has been released, with 87 players set to compete for two spots in the LIV Golf League. The tournament will take place from January 8 to 11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. Last year’s edition in Saudi Arabia offered only one league spot, claimed by Chieh-po Lee. This year, both the stakes and prize pool have increased, as LIV Golf continues to refine its promotion-relegation system in pursuit of Official World Golf Ranking points.
Big Names Headline LIV Golf Promotions Field
German-speaking pros Maximilian Kieffer and Matthias Schwab are among the field, aiming to secure a place in the league. Also competing are the top ten players from the International Series, including Miguel Tabuena (Philippines winner), Ollie Schniederjans (India winner), and Wade Ormsby (Jakarta winner). These players, along with relegated or released LIV golfers such as Ben Campbell, Matt Jones, Andy Ogletree, Anthony Kim, Max Rottluff, and John Catlin, are pre-qualified for the second round.
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. DPWT regulars Callum Shinkwin and Lucas Bjerregaard, as well as Walker Cup players Dominic Clemons and Charlie Forster, are also in the mix.
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 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 considers the four-day event 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.
