Three-Day, Four-Round Tournament to Take Place December 8-10
at Abu Dhabi Golf Club
Leading Professionals and
Elite Amateurs from Across the Globe Eligible for Entry
Following an exciting LIV Golf season
finale that saw captain Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC capture the 2023 LIV
Golf Team Championship and celebrated RangeGoats GC’s Talor Gooch earning the
2023 Individual Champion title, the league today announced details on LIV Golf Promotions,
presenting an exciting pathway for elite players from across the global golf
ecosystem to earn their place on the LIV Golf League in 2024.
The tournament will be staged December 8-10 at the iconic Abu Dhabi Golf Club
in the United Arab Emirates, with four rounds of golf played over three days,
including 36 holes on the final day where the top three finishers will be
drafted into one of the LIV Golf teams next season. LIV Golf Promotions also
offers a prize purse of US $1.5 million.
“In less than two years, through the launch of LIV Golf and our development
of The International Series on the Asian Tour, more than 3,500 new
opportunities have been created for players to compete and advance their
careers at golf’s highest levels. This is bringing progress to the sport on a
global scale, and the world is taking notice,” said Greg Norman, LIV Golf
Commissioner and CEO. “LIV Golf Promotions establishes an integrated pathway
for the best players and up-and-coming talent from all over the globe to join
a league that is changing the game. Open competition and meritocracy have
always been a part of the fabric of LIV Golf, and following the success of
our first full, 14-event season, we’re excited to be able to launch LIV Golf
Promotions and offer players from around the world the chance to qualify for
2024.”
Highlighting the global aspect of the LIV Golf League, leading players from
all over the world will be eligible to participate. A full breakdown of
eligibility criteria, including qualifiers for round one and round two, is
below.
LIV Golf Promotions will consist of four rounds of 18-hole stroke play.
Starting Friday, December 8, those who finish in the top 20 and ties from
round one will advance to Saturday’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 following round two will
advance to the final day of competition, where scores will reset once more
for an intense full-day, 36-hole shootout. At Sunday’s conclusion, the top
three finishers will receive highly coveted and lucrative spots in the LIV
Golf League for 2024. The top three finishers will also earn prize money of
$200,000, $150,000 and $100,000 respectively. Players finishing fourth to
10th will receive full exemption for all 2024 events on The International
Series on the Asian Tour.
LIV Golf Promotions will complete the player roster for the 2024 LIV Golf
League, with the three qualifiers from Abu Dhabi Golf Club being joined by
the winner of The International Series 2023 Rankings to replace the four
relegated players. American Andy Ogletree, who competed in the inaugural LIV
Golf Invitational Series in 2023, is poised to secure that automatic berth,
having recorded two International Series victories in England and Qatar, and
three further top-10 finishes.
Rahul Singh,
Head of The International Series, said: “This is what our season has been
driving towards and is a great showcase of the open player opportunities that
LIV Golf is committed to. The innovative format of LIV Golf Promotions will
offer drama and excitement and I have no doubt that we will crown some very
deserving recipients of their rights in the LIV Golf League 2024.”
Scott Vincent, a member of this season’s Iron Heads GC team thanks to
finishing atop last year’s International Series Rankings, finished this
season 22nd in the LIV Golf League Individual Rankings to lock in a spot for
2024.
Said Vincent:
“That’s the coolest thing about LIV is you get to play with some of the best
in the world, and that’s what we grow up hoping for, to challenge ourselves,
push ourselves, and try and reach new levels – maybe something we never
dreamed of. It’s amazing how it worked out for me. So many things just rolled
into place, and the fact that I get to do this again, I can’t be more thrilled.”
In addition to welcoming players from around the world, relegated players,
and those without a team commitment for 2024 who finished in the ‘Open Zone’
(25-44th) on the 2023 LIV Golf League standings also have the opportunity to
regain their playing rights for 2024.
The tournament will be available globally live and on-demand on LIV Golf
Plus, the LIV Golf YouTube channel and broadcast partners around the world,
with live coverage on Friday and Saturday from 12:00 – 4:00 p.m. and Sunday
from 12:30 – 5:00 p.m. (all times local). For more information, visit LIVGolf.com/liv-golf-promotions-2023.
