LIV Golf is set to kick off its 2025 season on Thursday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking a significant debut for the tour in the kingdom. The opening events will take place at the Riyadh Golf Club, featuring both singles and team competitions, as LIV Golf continues to expand its global footprint.
This season’s launch is particularly noteworthy as it represents the first time LIV Golf will host events in Saudi Arabia, a move that adds to the growing presence of the league, which has faced scrutiny since its inception as a breakaway from the PGA Tour. However, over the past year, the league has garnered attention by attracting prominent players, including Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, and Phil Mickelson.
The coverage of LIV Golf will reach a wider audience this season, with more than half of the league’s schedule airing on FOX and FS1. Select rounds will also be available on FOX Business, FS2, and through the FOX Sports app. Fans can expect to see the first two rounds from Riyadh broadcast on FS2, while the third round will be featured on both FS1 and FS2.
LIV Golf has established a unique format that combines traditional 54-hole play with a team element, offering a fresh take on the sport. The league’s structure has attracted a mix of established stars and emerging talent, enhancing its competitive landscape. In the previous season, Jon Rahm clinched the individual title while the team title was secured by Crushers GC, which included notable players like DeChambeau and Paul Casey.
As the tour embarks on its new season, it will continue to showcase some of the world’s most renowned golf courses, further solidifying its position within the sport. The LIV Golf schedule promises an exciting array of events, and fans can find the full lineup online.
With the combination of high-profile players and strategic broadcasting partnerships, LIV Golf is poised to make a significant impact in the golfing world this year.
