LIV Golf is returning to Michigan in 2026. <\/p>\n
The Saudi-backed golf league, which has become a competitor to the PGA Tour since launching in 2022, announced Thursday that The Cardinal at Saint John\u2019s Resort in Plymouth Township will again host its season-ending team championship.<\/p>\n
The LIV Golf team championship will be Aug. 27-30, 2026. Ross Hallett, LIV Golf executive vice president and head of events, called last year\u2019s event at Saint John\u2019s a \u201csuccessful 2025 finale\u201d that drew an estimated 40,000 spectators over the three-day tournament. <\/p>\n
\u201cTeam competition is at the core of our League, and our annual Team Championship is one of our biggest events of the year,\u201d Hallett said in a news release. \u201cFrom the course layout for team match play to the fan experiences to world-class concerts, Saint John\u2019s Resort, Wayne County, and the state of Michigan were fantastic hosts for LIV Golf this past season, and we can\u2019t wait to return next August.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last year\u2019s tournament featured a thrilling finish, with star Jon Rahm\u2019s Legion XIII team outlasting Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s Crushers GC in a two-hole playoff for the $14 million prize. LIV Golf touts a more engaging fan experience, with music playing during competition, fan zones and live concert experiences. Last year\u2019s event included concerts by Imagine Dragons and Swedish House Mafia following golf on Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n
The team championship event in Michigan will have a new title sponsor this year in Aramco, the Saudi Arabian Oil Company. The Cardinal, designed by Michigan native Ray Hearn, opened in June 2024. Saint John\u2019s was purchased by nonprofit Pulte Family Charitable Foundation from the Archdiocese of Detroit in 2021. <\/p>\n
\u201cWelcoming LIV Golf to The Cardinal at Saint John\u2019s Resort in 2025 was a unique opportunity to showcase what Saint John\u2019s is capable of, while also advancing our Foundation\u2019s mission,\u201d Kevin Doyle, chief operating officer of the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation, said in a news release. \u201cThe week exceeded every expectation. The League\u2019s innovative approach is truly reshaping the game of golf both on and off the course, and we\u2019re honored that our property has been selected to host the 2026 Team Championship.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe feedback we received this past year from local residents and fans across the country was unbelievable \u2013 they were blown away by the atmosphere and the fun they had here, and we are looking forward to making an already world-class event even bigger and better in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
The LIV Golf team championship is the fourth major pro golf event scheduled in Michigan for 2026: LPGA\u2019s Dow Championship (June 11-14 at Midland Country Club), Meijer LPGA Classic (June 18-21 at Blythefield Country Club) and the PGA Tour Rocket Classic (July 30-Aug. 2 at Detroit Golf Club). <\/p>\n
