This year’s LIV Golf Promotions event will only offer one spot on the circuit for the 2025 season.
LIV Golf announced that the 2024 Promotions event – an open competition that offers a pathway for players into the LIV Golf League – will take place at Riyadh Golf Club in Saudi Arabia on 12-14 December.
LIV Golf Promotions will have the same format as last year, consisting of four rounds played across three days, with the top 20 players advancing to the 36-hole final day.
However, only the winner of this year’s event will earn a contract for next season compared to the three spots on offer in 2023.
Golf Monthly understands that the decision to reduce the qualifying spots to just one was to allow LIV teams to have more freedom to fill their rosters as they see fit.
Kalle Samooja, Kieran Vincent and Jinichiro Kozuma earned places in the 2024 LIV Golf League through last year’s Promotions event in Abu Dhabi.
Both Samooja and Vincent were relegated from the league after failing to make the top 48 this season, while Kozuma finished in 45th place and can only retain his spot if he is re-signed by a LIV team.
LIV players who finished in the Open Zone (25th-48th) in 2024 and remain without a team for next season can earn their way back into the league through the Promotions event.
Along with a prize purse of $1.5 million, the 2024 LIV Golf Promotions will also offer the top 10 finishers, including ties, a full exemption into all 2025 International Series events on the Asian Tour.
“LIV Golf Promotions delivers another pathway for up-and-coming players and top competitors across the globe to experience a life-changing season with LIV, and we’re eager to see who steps up this year in Riyadh,” LIV Golf commissioner and CEO Greg Norman said in a statement.

The winner of this year’s International Series Rankings will also earn a spot into the 2025 LIV Golf League.
John Catlin, who played as a reserve in six LIV Golf events this season, currently leads the International Series standings following a victory in Macau and two runner-up finishes.
“John’s success in a number of LIV Golf events as a reserve this season is proof of the quality of play that we see each week on The International Series,” The International Series head Rahul Singh said in…
