LIV Golf: 2023 schedule won’t clash with majors


Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey will host the third LIV Golf event this year

LIV Golf’s 2023 schedule will not compete with major tournaments, international team events or heritage events, according to event organizers.

Next year, 48 players will play in 14 tournaments, with $405m (£336m) in combined prize money, with the choice to play in the more traditional tournaments.

The announcement comes a day before the start of the third tournament in the Saudi-funded breakout series.

The game starts in Bedminster on Thursday.

The New Jersey event is one of eight tournaments in the controversial series’ inaugural year.

LIV Golf did not announce dates and locations for next year’s tournaments, but said it would “expand LIV Golf’s global footprint” with events in North America, Latin America, Australia , Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

“Each season will culminate in a World Team Championship Grand Final,” said Greg Norman, Managing Director and Commissioner of LIV Golf.

“The 2023 league schedule will not compete with major tournaments, international team events or heritage events, so the best players in the game will still be able to make their own choices as to where to play.”

The PGA Tour suspended players who joined LIV Golf, while some left the US-based tour. The DP World Tour has punished but not banned LIV golfers indefinitely.
