LIV Golf announces Miami comeback ahead of 2024 Masters week

LIV Golf has revealed the dates for the LIV event in Miami. The Saudi-backed league is set to return to Trump National Doral Golf Club in Florida ahead of the Masters Tournament in April.

The LIV Miami event is scheduled to take place between April 5th - April 7th and will be the fifth event in the league's season. This places the event just before the Masters tournament, scheduled to take place between April 8th to April 14th this year.

Flushing It posted LIV Golf's schedule on X (formerly Twitter):

“LIV have officially announced they’re returning to Miami the week before the Masters. The individual and team finals are still TBC though with just 3 weeks left until the start of the season…”

The LIV Golf league unveiled its 2024 schedule in November 2023, featuring 14 events similar to previous seasons. However, details about the events preceding the Masters, including the course information, were undisclosed.

Many of these LIV events will take place concurrently with PGA Tour events - sometimes a week before or after. For instance, LIV Golf's inaugural event at Mayakoba will coincide with the PGA Tour's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

The LIV Golf team and individual championships dates have not yet been disclosed.
