In an exciting development for the world of professional golf, LIV Golf has officially announced the field for its 2024 Promotions event, which will take place from December 12-14 at the Riyadh Golf Club in Saudi Arabia.
This event, centered on opportunity and competition, serves as a pathway for golfers seeking a coveted spot in the 2025 LIV Golf League and is loaded with high stakes, career-changing possibilities, and thrilling golf action.
Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know about this spectacular event.
A Closer Look at the Event Structure
The LIV Golf Promotions 2024 event is designed to challenge the 93 participating golfers, who represent 30 different countries. Here’s how the event is structured:
- Day 1: The opening round will see all competitors play 18 holes of stroke play. Only the top 20 players, with ties, will progress to the next round.
- Day 2: Scores reset, and a new 18-hole round unfolds. Category B players—those qualifying directly for the second round—join the top 20 from Day 1 in the competition. Again, only the top 20 players will move forward.
- Day 3: The final day promises intensity with a 36-hole shootout. Scores will be reset again for this showdown, culminating in the selection of the winner and other qualified players.
This progressive elimination format ensures the most consistent and high-performing golfers advance.
For participants, this event offers not only the chance to showcase their skills but also life-changing opportunities:
- Entry to the 2025 LIV Golf League: The winner will secure a prized spot in the league.
- Substantial Prize Money: The winner will take home $200,000, and the total prize purse for the event is $1.5 million.
- Asian Tour Access: Beyond the top spot, the top 10 finishers (including ties) will receive a full exemption into all 2025 Asian Tour International Series events—further extending global career opportunities.
Even those who don’t advance far in the tournament are guaranteed payouts. For example, players eliminated after the first round still receive $5,000, while second-round qualifiers earn $10,000.
Amateurs are also recognized with $1,000 and the promise of additional funds being donated to charity.
