LIV Golf reveals official field for 2026 Promotions event in Florida

The annual LIV Golf Promotions event returns to Florida in January with two league spots up for grabs. The full field is now confirmed.

The 87-player field for the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event has been announced. The tournament will take place from January 8–11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. Last year’s event in Saudi Arabia offered just one league spot, claimed by Chieh-po Lee. This year, the stakes have been raised with two spots available, as LIV Golf continues to refine its promotion and relegation system in pursuit of Official World Golf Ranking points.

Big names in the LIV Golf Promotions field

German-speaking players Maximilian Kieffer and Matthias Schwab will compete for a coveted spot in the league. Also in the field are the top ten players from the International Series Top 20, including Miguel Tabuena (Philippines winner), Ollie Schniederjans (India winner), and Wade Ormsby (Jakarta winner). These players are already qualified for the second round, along with relegated or released LIV players such as Ben Campbell, Matt Jones, Andy Ogletree, Anthony Kim, Max Rottluff, and John Catlin.

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 silver medalist Tom Lewis. Former DPWT regulars Callum Shinkwin and Lucas Bjerregaard are also in the mix, as are Walker Cup players Dominic Clemons and Charlie Forster.

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 around the world to compete at the highest level,” said LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil. “It will be a high-stakes, intense competition from start to finish, and we look forward to celebrating the players who earn their shot at LIV Golf’s biggest season yet.”
