LIV Golf's 2023 season recently came to an end and the Saudi circuit is currently organizing a Promotions event. The tournament will take place at Abu Dhabi Golf Club from December 8 to 10.
It will be played over three days and unlike the usual LIV Golf format, the Promotion event will take place in a 72-hole format. However, a few of the golfers will be exempted from playing in the first round and will directly enter the second round.
Speaking about the tournament, LIV Golf CEO, Greg Norman said:
“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," he added.
Interestingly, the PGA Tour players are also eligible to compete in the Promotional event. Here are seven PGA Tour players who are currently exempted from competing at the LIV Golf Promotions event round 1.
