The announcement also provided key details about the 2026 season opener.
The 2026 LIV Golf Opener Schedule
The event returns to Riyadh following its first appearance in 2025. The tournament will open the 2026 season and will be held from 4–7 February at Riyadh Golf Club as part of Riyadh Season.
The golf club located on King Abdulaziz Road in Al Aarid will host play from Wednesday through Saturday. Tee times for each round are scheduled for 6:05 pm local time.
The event will use a 72-hole format. This marks a shift from previous seasons.
"Moving to 72 holes, expanding the field, increasing relegation, updated our points system, and enhancing our investment in teams all reflect the same principle: if you perform week-in and week-out, individually and as part of a team, the performance matters," LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil said about the move.
"We believe this evolution makes LIV Golf more competitive, more transparent, and ultimately, more exciting for players, teams, and fans around the world," he added.
