Three players earned spots in LIV Golf through a qualifying tournament last year but that will be reduced to one as the teams will be given more autonomy.
The LIV Golf League is making a change to its Promotions Event that will see just a single player earn a place on the 54-hole circuit next year, while the top 10 in the 72-hole competition will be exempt into the 10-tournament International Series that is part of the Asian Tour.
Like last year, the event will be played over three days, with various exemption categories allowing for entry into the first and second day, which will see some players allowed to skip the first round. “Candidly, the ability for the league to impose players on teams is something we want to move on from,” said a LIV Golf executive who wished not to be identified. “We want the teams to have the autonomy to mature and create their own commercial value. And some of the teams have identified targets. There is a balance of bringing in those who can help sell the team while also adding to the competitive nature at the same time.
Last year, Kalle Samooja, Kieran Vincent and Jinichiro Kozuma earned the three Promotions spots but both Samooja and Vincent failed to avoid relegation, as they fell outside of the top 48 players. Kozuma was 45th and is not obligated to be resigned by a LIV team. For those who fall short of the one Promotions spot, a guaranteed spot in the International Series allows for the opportunity to earn a direct place onto LIV Golf for 2026. The events also have $2 million purses and would also provide some access to the greater Asian Tour schedule.3.
