LIV Golf has announced the 48 players competing on 12 teams for their 2023 season. The first event kicks off on Feb. 24, played at Mayakoba Resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, on the Greg Norman-designed El Camaleon course. The 14th and final event is the LIV Golf team championship, which will be played at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia from Nov. 3-5.
This season, the same 48 players will compete in each event, unless there is an injury or a player is otherwise unable to compete. Each team has a captain, with three players underneath.
In all 14 tournaments, there are two simultaneous competitions, with an individual 54-hole stroke-play event and a team-based event, which is based on taking the top two scores from the four-players teams in the first two rounds and the top three scores in the final round.
