\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s not just the number of holes that is changing when the fifth LIV Golf campaign gets underway\u2026<\/p>\n
LIV Golf has made yet another announcement regarding its format.<\/p>\n
Ahead of its fifth season, the league had already announced, to mixed reviews<\/a>, that it would be moving to 72-hole tournaments. <\/p>\n Now, with the golf world still reeling from Brooks Koepka\u2019s decision to leave LIV Golf<\/a>, it has revealed its field size at each event will increase from 54 to 57, with the 13 teams<\/a> now being joined by five wildcards rather than the previous two. <\/p>\n Three of these will come from the upcoming LIV Golf Promotions<\/a> event, while the others will be Scott Vincent and Yosuke Asaji, who earned their spots by finishing as the top two in the Asian Tour\u2019s season-long Order of Merit. This is also confirmation that they will play as wildcards rather than joining existing teams.<\/p>\n In a statement announcing the decision, LIV\u2019s CEO Scott O\u2019Neil said the league is \u201ccommitted to moving the sport forward by expanding opportunity and access. <\/p>\n He added: \u201cWe are opening pathways \u2013 creating more chances for top talent to compete in the world\u2019s golf league. Adding another qualifying spot strengthens our field and adds excitement to a season built on opportunity, competition, and growth.\u201d<\/p>\n The LIV Golf Promotions event, which features a number of household names<\/a> including a Ryder Cup player and DP World Tour favorite, will take place at Black Diamond Ranch, Florida, in January, with the 2026 LIV Golf season getting underway in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n
