One month before the start of what will be the fourth season in the history of LIV Golf, the Saudi circuit announced on Tuesday the final calendar for 2025: it consists of 14 tournaments spread across nine countries and four continents, with five venues as a novelty compared to last year and with the Valderrama course repeating one more year. The curtain will open on February 6 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), one of the five additions to the calendar and the first of 12 regular tournaments, since the individual final will be played in Indianapolis (August 15 to 17) and, a week later, Michigan will host the team final.

Our global calendar continues to expand with the aim of playing on the best golf courses and providing a unique and memorable experience for fans, said Ross Hallett, executive vice president and director of events for LIV Golf, after announcing the publication of the calendar. The 2025 roster includes courses that have hosted multiple Presidents Cups, the Ryder Cup and the Solheim Cup, where team golf has shined. The calendar proudly includes LIV Golf Adelaide, voted the best golf event in the world, and LIV Golf Singapore at Sentosa Golf Club, named the best golf course in the world. We have a strong mix of historic venues rich in tradition and contemporary clubs establishing new traditions of their own, and this season will be another incredible showcase for the LIV Golf League, our teams and our players, he added.

Among the eight courses that remain unchanged from 2024, Valderrama stands out, which for the third consecutive year will host the only LIV tournament on Spanish soil. In 2025, the course will be played there from July 11 to July 13. Classic Saudi Super League layouts such as the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Washington D.C. will also remain. or the Blue Monster at Trump National Doral in Miami, while there are five new additions: those mentioned in Riyadh (Riyadh Golf Club), Indianapolis (The Club at Chatham Hills) and Michigan (The Cardinal at Saint Johns Resort), as well as Mexico City (Club de Golf Chapultepec) and South Korea (Jack Nicklaus Golf Course).
Countdown, therefore, for the start of a new season of LIV Golf in which Jon Rahm will defend his individual title won last year, in his first campaign on the circuit. There are still loose ends to be worked out in the composition of several teams, including the Legion XIII of Barrika, which will not have Keiran Vincent and which, as reported by TenGolf, has Tom McKibbin as the main candidate to join its ranks. A place also needs to be clarified in the other team with Spaniards, the Fireballs, in which Sergio Garca and David Puig will not have Eugenio Lpez-Chacarra as a teammate.
