LIV Golf Promotions field features major champion, Ryder Cup players

The field is set for the first ever LIV Golf Promotions event.

Three spots are available at the inaugural event at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, Dec. 8-10, that will feature a field of 73 players. The top-three finishers from the three-day, four-round event will be drafted onto a LIV Golf League team ahead of the first event of the season at LIV Golf Mayakoba in Mexico, Feb. 2-4, 2024.

Fifty-nine players will compete in the first round Dec. 8, and the top 20 and ties will advance to the second round, where scores will reset. The advancing players will be joined by 14 players who are exempt into the second round. Another cut will be made after 36 holes to just the top 20 players. Scores will once again reset and the advancing 20 will compete for the top three over 36 holes on the final day. Players who finish Nos. 4-10 will be exempt for all 2024 events on The International Series sanctioned by the Asian Tour.

All four players who were relegated after the 2023 LIV Golf season – Sihwan Kim, Chase Koepka, Jed Morgan and James Piot – are in the field and automatically through to the second round.
