LIV Golf has announced a significant expansion of its schedule for the 2025 season, increasing from 14 to 16 events with a total prize purse exceeding $500 million. The announcement comes as the Saudi-backed tour continues to reshape professional golf's landscape.
The expanded schedule includes new venues in Asia, Europe, and South America, with each event featuring a $25 million purse. The team championship format will also see enhancements, with more emphasis on team competition throughout the season.
"We're building something special here," said LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman. "Our players are excited about the growth, and fans around the world are responding to our innovative format."
The announcement has sparked renewed discussions about the relationship between LIV Golf and traditional tours, with ongoing negotiations about potential collaboration and player eligibility for major championships.
