LIV Golf has announced a 14-event schedule for its 2023 league season, with seven countries hosting events as part of an expanded calendar.
All 14 events take place on weeks outside of the men’s majors and the Ryder Cup, with any potential clashes with the PGA Tour’s elevated events and Rolex Series tournaments on the DP World Tour also avoided.
LIV Golf commissioner Greg Norman said: “We received tremendous feedback globally from fans throughout our beta-test year, with one resounding theme: LIV Golf’s team format, innovations, and festival-like events are delivering a one-of-a-kind golf experience.
