LIV Golf is set to make significant changes to its global schedule for 2024, including the addition of several new host countries and moving its flagship Adelaide event by forward two months.
A proposed calendar for next year was circulating this week at LIV Golf UK with South Korea, Japan, Mexico City, Indianapolis and Austin among the proposed new stops. The league will become more international, with the tentative schedule moving to nine events outside the US and five within it. Host courses were not yet clear.
LIV Golf is set kick off 2025 in Saudi Arabia from Friday, February 7-9. The following week, the league will head to Australia for its best-performing event, LIV Golf Adelaide, set for February 14-16. Opening the season in Saudi Arabia would be a change from LIV kicking off its past two years at Mayakoba in Mexico.
Mid-February would be in the thick of the Australian summer for LIV Golf Adelaide, which from a playing standpoint should present firmer, faster course conditions.
The 54-hole event circuit would then take two weeks off before grouping Hong Kong (March 7-9) and Singapore (March 14-16) tournaments together. Singapore has previously followed Adelaide.
The league is set to host its pre-Masters event in Austin, Texas from April 4-6 with Augusta National Golf Club hosting the first major of 2025 from April 10-13. Austin was the host city of the World Golf Championship-Match Play on the PGA Tour, which was scrapped after last year.
In what would normally be the week reserved for LIV Adelaide – which last year saw 90,000 fans through the gates at The Grange Golf Club – LIV will debut an event in Tokyo from April 25-27 before another debut, in South Korea, from May 2-4.
The league would then take a week off before the second major of the year, the PGA Championship being held May 15-18.
After a two-week break, LIV would then stage its Washington DC event from June 6-8 before the US Open at Oakmont a week later, June 12-15. LIV would return to its highly successful Nashville stop from June 20-22.
The Europe swing would in the northern hemisphere summer would see a tournament in Europe (TBD) from July 11-13 prior to the Open Championship at Portrush from July 17-20. LIV Golf UK would follow the Open, from July 25-27.
The following month, LIV would debut an event in Mexico City, a former host city of the WGC-Mexico Championship on the PGA Tour, from August 8-10. The last two events of the season would immediately follow in what appears to be its individual season finale, August 15-17 in Indianapolis, before a likely teams championship in Dallas from August 22-24.
