LIV Golf today announced the preliminary field for the third edition of LIV Golf Promotions, set for January 8–11, 2026, at the Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida.
The four-day, 72-hole stroke play event offers spots in the 2026 LIV Golf League and The International Series, sanctioned by the Asian Tour.
Currently, 87 players representing 24 countries are registered to compete. This year’s field features an average age of 30 years old, including former top-50-ranked players, Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup participants, winners on the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Asian Tour.
Fifty of the 87 players have won an event in the past two years, including 39 different tournament winners in 2025 (all events eligible with the Official World Golf Ranking / World Amateur Golf Ranking).
Starting Thursday, January 8, those who finish in the top 20 and ties from round one will advance to Friday’s round two, where scores will reset, and the field will be joined by a category of players who automatically qualified for day two of competition. The top 20 players and any ties following round two will advance to the third day of competition, with scores reset once more. A two-day, 36-hole shootout will commence, and at Sunday’s conclusion, the top two finishers will earn a spot in the LIV Golf League for 2026, as well as $200,000 for first place and $150,000 for second place.
The top 10 finishers, including ties, will earn full exemption into the 2026 International Series, sanctioned by the Asian Tour.
The current field features names, including:
Chris Wood (England): 2016 Ryder Cup player and three-time European Tour winner
Pablo Ereno (Spain): 2025 Palmer Cup player and former sixth-ranked player in World Amateur Golf Rankings
Miguel Tabuena (Philippines): Two-time Olympian and third-ranked player in 2025 International Series standings
Christopher Wood (Australia): Current top-ranked player on the PGA Tour of Australasia
Yuxin Lin (China): Two-time Asia-Pacific Amateur Champion
Alex Levy (France): Five-time DP World Tour winner
LIV Golf League players without a 2026 team commitment who finished the season in the Open Zone (25th-48th), as well as relegated players (49th-54th), also have an opportunity to secure their playing rights for the 2026 season.
Several returning LIV Golf players are entered in the field, including Ben Campbell, who competed with RangeGoats GC and finished the season ranked 36th in the LIV Golf standings; Matt Jones, formerly of Ripper GC, who concluded the year in 40th place; and Anthony Kim, a three-time PGA Tour winner and former world No. 6 who was a member of the victorious 2008 United States Ryder Cup team, finishing the season ranked 55th. Each will be competing to regain their League status for 2026.
