LIV Golf confirms 2023 schedule

LIV Golf has confirmed it will move from the current invitational series to a league schedule in 2023, a year earlier than planned. 

The format for 2023 will comprise 14 events with 48 players. Each player will participate in all 14 events and also as part of the 12 four-man teams which will be set for the whole season.

The vast majority of those spots will probably be filled by players with contracts to LIV Golf. According to Sports Illustrated’s sport news website si.com  the bottom four finishers in 2023 will be relegated from the league. 

Three of these spots will be filled from a qualifying promotion tournamen and the fourth by the winner of the money list for the LIV International Series which will be co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and LIV Golf.

Some players and team captains may be exempt from relegation depending on their individual contract with LIV Golf. Other players outside the top 24 players at season's end could lose their spots should their team decide against renewing their deals. The intrigue continues and no doubt there will be more fine tuning to come .
