The 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event in Florida will feature 87 players competing for two coveted league spots. Full field revealed.
The official field for the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions tournament has been announced, with 87 players set to compete for two spots in the LIV Golf League. The event will take place from January 8 to 11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. Last year’s edition, held in Saudi Arabia, offered only one league spot, which was claimed by Chieh-po Lee. This year, the stakes have been raised with increased prize money and a revamped promotion-relegation system aimed at gaining Official World Golf Ranking points.
Big Names Join LIV Golf Promotions Field
German-speaking players Maximilian Kieffer and Matthias Schwab are among the hopefuls vying for a league spot. The field also includes the top ten players from the International Series, such as Miguel Tabuena (Philippines winner), Ollie Schniederjans (India winner), and Wade Ormsby (Jakarta winner), all of whom are pre-qualified for the second round. Former LIV players Ben Campbell, Matt Jones, Andy Ogletree, Anthony Kim, Max Rottluff, and John Catlin are also in the mix.
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, along with Walker Cup players Dominic Clemons and Charlie Forster, round out a competitive field.
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 an intense, high-stakes 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 Banned
Once again, no PGA Tour members will participate, as the Tour classifies the four-day event as unauthorized. Any member who competes risks a one-year suspension. Tensions between the two professional golf circuits remain high, recently reignited when Laurie Canter relinquished his PGA Tour card to return to the Saudi-backed league.
