The organization today announced improvements to the regular season, expanding qualifying opportunities by adding a third qualifying spot to the third edition of LIV Golf Promotions, held January 8-11, 2026 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida, USA.

More than 80 players from 24 countries have already confirmed their participation in the competition for these spots.
The top three finishers in LIV Golf Promotions will enter the regular circuit, along with Zimbabwe’s Scott Vincent and Japan’s Yosuke Asaji, who secured their places by winning the 2025 International Series, which concluded in Riyadh last month.
The promotional tournament will consist of four rounds of 18 holes, at the end of which the top three players will earn a spot on the LIV Golf Tour, along with a prize of $200,000 for the winner, $150,000 for second place and $100,000 for third place.
Today, the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) believes the LIV circuit has made “progress” but stated it has not yet made a decision on its request to have its tournaments reflected in the world rankings.
The OWGR Board of Directors released a statement Tuesday regarding the new request made by LIV Golf on June 30 to align its status with that of the other major tours, the PGA Tour and the European DP World Tour.
OWGR’s decision to delay its ruling to further investigate the request is largely a response to the new step LIV Golf took on November 4, when it announced that its tournaments, starting in the 2026 season, would last four rounds (72 holes), like those of the other tours, instead of three (54 holes). This change would mean giving up one of the tour’s defining features since its inception in 2022.
