PGA Tour Threatens Sanctions Over LIV Florida Promotions Event as DP World Tour Says Members Can Play

The North America venue triggers the PGA Tour’s conflicting‑events rule that blocks releases for its players.

Overview

  • LIV Golf scheduled its third Promotions Event for January 8–11, 2026 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida.
  • Two players will earn 2026 LIV Golf roster spots, with a $1.5 million purse and International Series status for the top 10 finishers.
  • The PGA Tour labeled the event unauthorized, denying media-rights releases for PGA Tour, Korn Ferry, and Champions members and warning of disciplinary action if they compete.
  • Tour officials also said non-members who try to qualify for LIV, including PGA Tour Americas hopefuls, would face a one-year ban from PGA Tour events.
  • A DP World Tour spokesperson said members may enter because that week has no schedule clash, and the HotelPlanner Tour calendar is clear as well.
