Last year, three players earned their way onto the LIV Golf League thanks to the LIV Golf Promotions event. This year, only one golfer will have the opportunity to do that.
LIV Golf announced details Thursday for its Promotions event, which is set for Dec. 12-14 in Saudi Arabia at Riyadh Golf Club. Four rounds of golf will be contested over three days, with the winner earning a roster spot for the 2025 LIV Golf season.
That one player will have a chance to earn a spot on one of LIV Golf’s 13 teams, but they may also be a wildcard player for the 2025 season.
The total purse will be $1.5 million, while the top 10 finishers, including ties, will earn full exemption into all 2025 events on the Asian Tour’s International Series. LIV Golf has continued to invest in the Asian Tour, and this is an effort to continue growing the relationship between the two, with the Asian Tour becoming somewhat of a feeder series for LIV Golf in the future.
There will be four rounds of stroke play. After the first 18 holes, only the top-20 and ties advance to the second round. Scores will be reset, then the top 20 will advance to the final two rounds, with ties to be determined by a playoff. Then the scores will be reset again before the third and final round, where the leader after 36 holes will earn a spot in the LIV Golf League.
Every player who advances to the second round will receive at least $10,000. Those who play in only the first round will get $5,000. Amateurs will get $1,000 regardless of finishing position.
Who’s eligible for the Promotions event? It’s a long list, and LIV Golf is giving plenty of spots to the top amateurs in the world, should they choose to play.
The tournament will be available to watch on LIV Golf Plus, the LIV Golf YouTube channel and broadcast partners around the world, with live coverage Thursday, Dec. 12-Saturday, Dec. 14.
