LIV Golf will kick of its 2025 season under the lights in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The spotlight is literally on the opening event, taking place from February 6-8 at Riyadh Golf Club for the first time.
It will be the league’s first trip to the Saudi capital, in fact, after hosting events at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in each of the last three years.
As always, the first round will get underway on Thursday with play culminating on Saturday, and a few new names will make LIV debuts.
Tom McKibbin – who joined Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII – is the most recent signing, while LIV promotions winner Lee Chieh Po is another rookie.
Meanwhile, Rahm and the Crushers GC will look to start their title defences on the right foot.

The bunkered Bet
Brooks Koepka 14/1
Scores from four rounds of the Saudi Open here last April suggest it might not be a birdie fest, and players will have to adjust to night golf. Brooks Koepka, meanwhile, has also won twice in Saudi and twice in the opening few months of a LIV season. So, despite the coach change, this could be the best time to catch him.
