LIV Golf Promotions 2024: Field, format & prize money

LIV Golf Promotions will offer one place on the breakaway league for the 2025 season.

In a significant and controversial change, only one player competing in December’s qualifying event in Saudi Arabia will graduate to the LIV circuit, compared to three in 2023.

At last year’s inaugural event, Kalle Samooja, Kieran Vincent and Jinichiro Kozuma all secured their places on LIV, with Laurie Canter narrowly missing out.

Professional players across the world who wanted to tee it up in the 2024 event, meanwhile, had until November 18 to enter.

LIV Golf Promotions 2024 format

LIV Golf Promotions will take place from December 12-14 at Riyadh Golf Club.

The event will be held across four rounds of 18-hole strokeplay.

The players who finish in the top 20 in round one advance to round two, where the scores are re-set and automatic qualifiers join the field. The top 20 players from first 36 holes will advance to the final round, which will be a 36-hole shootout.

The winner of the shootout wins a guaranteed spot into the LIV Golf League in 2025.  Meanwhile, the top ten finishers including ties will be exempt for the 2025 International Series on the Asian Tour.
