Where will LIV’s stars compete, and how does the season-ending Team Championship work? Here’s what you need to know
The LIV Golf League schedule will involve 13 individual tournaments and one team event in 2023
What is the LIV Golf League?
Colloquially known as the Saudi Golf League, the LIV Golf League features a total prize pot of $250 million.
Each event involves three rounds, played over 54 holes, with no cuts, and shotgun starts. There is also a team component, with the 48-man field split into 12 squads of four players each. The first teams were determined by a draft in 2022, with the best two-stroke play scores counting for each team for the first two rounds, and the best three counting in the third and final round.
The inaugural event was held in England, before four events in the US. The players then headed to Bangkok for the sixth event, Jeddah for the seventh, and back to the US for the season-ending Team Championship in Miami.
The individual events carry a prize pot of $25 million – $20 million for the individual prizes and $5 million for the team events – while the eighth event offers $30 million to the top three players in the season-long standings.
There is a further $50 million in the team prize fund, with the winners taking home $16 million. The runners-up bank $10 million, and third place is $8 million.
“Our events are truly additive to the world of golf,” said LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman.
“We have done our best to create a schedule that allows players to play elsewhere, while still participating in our events.
“I believe players will increasingly make progress in achieving their right to play where they want. We will help in any way possible and will provide golfers with opportunities to achieve their full potential.”
Moving into 2023, LIV Golf has a revamped its schedule. This includes the expansion of the series to 14 events under a league format, with set team captains and all 48 players signed for the entire season.
