The leaders of LIV do not hide their ambitions for the future, and the confirmation that LIV Golf Riyadh is coming back caused real delight among the fans. Namely, the 2026 season of LIV starts from February 5 to 7 at the Riyadh Golf Club. Last year's debut in Riyadh caused an avalanche of reactions, mostly because it was the first night golf tournament for LIV.
In the fierce competition, Adrian Meronk emerged as the winner, and it seems that the leaders of the controversial Tour want to create an even more magical experience for everyone this time.
Ross Hallett, Executive Vice President and Head of Events at LIV shared the excitement in a press conference, saying that this time fans and golfers will have an even better experience.
Starting next year, the leaders of the Saudi-backed Tour will make golf tournaments significantly more exciting by revealing what innovations they are planning.
“Together, with ROSHN Group’s continued partnership, we’re excited to bring our global stars once again to Riyadh for our season opener in 2026,” said Ross Hallett, LIV
s EVP and Head of Events, as reported by the LIV Golf Weekly.
“2026 will be bigger and better with a focus on providing an unforgettable experience including light shows, a food festival, fan experiences, fair rides, golf activities, hospitality, concerts and more!”
Innovations
As we already know, LIV leaders, arriving on the golf scene, emphasized that they want to present innovations that we have not seen before, and Riyadh will be the best chance to show the luxury of innovation.
Namely, this tournament will include concerts with various DJs, a great atmosphere that we only see at big sports events, and that is the reason why most people are looking forward to this tournament.
The stars of LIV admit that this tournament could be a unique experience that has not been seen before in this sport.
This tournament will be the first stop for LIV Golfers next year, followed by tournaments in famous world capitals.
There is no doubt that the leaders will not stop there, aware that they have to offer the fans something more in order to keep their attention and further strengthen their status. They are aware of the threat that comes from the other side, but also that they must take clear steps if they want to lead the way in the world of this sport.
