LIV Golf Expands 2026 Field to 57, Adds Third Promotions Wild Card

OWGR has not ruled on LIV’s bid for ranking points despite the move to 72-hole events.

Overview

  • LIV’s January 8–11 Promotions at Black Diamond Ranch will award three full-season Wild Card spots, with the top 10 also earning 2026 International Series exemptions and a $1.5 million purse on offer.
  • The 57-player lineup will feature 13 four-man teams plus five Wild Cards who compete independently with guaranteed entries to all 13 regular-season events.
  • Eighty-three players from 24 countries are registered for Promotions, underscoring the league’s international recruiting push.
  • OWGR chair Trevor Immelman said the governing board has made progress reviewing LIV’s application but has no decision to share at this time.
  • CEO Scott O’Neil framed the expansion as opening pathways for talent as the league navigates roster turnover, including Brooks Koepka’s departure and uncertainty around Bryson DeChambeau.
