LIV Golf Promotions: Full Field Announced for 2026 Qualifier in Florida

The 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event in Florida will award two league spots. The full 87-player field has now been revealed.

The official 87-player field for the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event has been announced. The tournament will take place from January 8 to 11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida, with two coveted spots in the LIV Golf League up for grabs. Last year’s edition in Saudi Arabia offered just one spot, which was claimed by Chieh-po Lee. This year, prize money has been increased as LIV Golf continues to refine its promotion and relegation system in hopes of earning Official World Golf Ranking points.

German-speaking players Maximilian Kieffer and Matthias Schwab will compete for a chance to join the league. Also in the field are the top ten players from the International Series, including Miguel Tabuena (Philippines winner), Ollie Schniederjans (India winner), and Wade Ormsby (Jakarta winner), all of whom are pre-qualified for the second round. Former LIV players such as Ben Campbell, Matt Jones, Andy Ogletree, Anthony Kim, Max Rottluff, and John Catlin are also set to compete. 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. DPWT regulars Callum Shinkwin and Lucas Bjerregaard, along with Walker Cup players Dominic Clemons and Charlie Forster, round out the competitive field.

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 development 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’s going to 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.”

Once again, no PGA Tour players will participate, as the Tour classifies the four-day event as an unauthorized competition. Any member who takes part would face a one-year suspension. Tensions between the two professional golf leagues remain high, recently reignited when Laurie Canter gave up his PGA Tour card to return to the Saudi-backed league.
