Report: LIV Golf to introduce relegation and promotion system from 2023

Published

Jul 26, 2022

According to LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman, aside from a few more additions that will be announced after the PGA Tour season concludes, the LIV Golf roster will be more or less set in stone.

Those comments have led many to speculate on what the path may be for new players who are looking to join LIV Golf going forward.

According to SI Morning Read, the outline for giving players a chance to qualify for LIV Golf is beginning to take shape.

Starting after next season, LIV will institute its own version of Q-School, called the “Promotions Event”.

According to Morning Read, “During the 2023 season, LIV will maintain a rankings list and players that finish in the top 24 at each tournament will earn points toward keeping their status for the following year.

At the end of 2023, four players at the bottom of the rankings will be relegated by LIV and the top 24 from the season-long points total will keep their status for the following year.”

This appears to be LIV Golf’s way of making sure that players who want to qualify for LIV after the teams have already been set will have a chance.

This is also encouraging due to the fact that many have questioned what motivation LIV players will have to succeed when the money for each event is guaranteed. This system will ensure that consistently poor performance will be costly and there will be plenty on the line for LIV players.

The players who are “relegated” will have a chance to re-qualify (along with several other participants) for LIV via the Promotions event. Relegated players will also be eligible to participate in the LIV Golf International Series (co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour) and in their home tours as well.

If a player is relegated, the team will have the choice of who to replace the relegated player with.

According the SI, the Promotions event will “be played over three or four days with a potential 36-hole finale, will provide players in the amateur and professional ranks the opportunity to try to qualify for the 14-event LIV Golf League that is scheduled in 2024.”

Players exempt into the field include the following:

Nos. 2-32 on the money list from the International Series, which is part of the Asian Tour
Major winners from the last 5 years.
Reigning amateur champions (U.S. Amateur, British Amateur, Latin-American Amateur, Asia-Pacific Amateur, NCAA champion)
Top 75 in the Official World Golf Ranking
PGA Tour and DP World Tour winners from the previous year
Any relegated player from LIV Golf in the last two years
Members of the last Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup teams

Sources have indicated that the first round of the Promotions event may have up to 100 players participating.

We are still over a year away from this plan coming to fruition, so it’s possible that much could change in that time. However, it’s becoming evident that LIV Golf is here to stay.

Adding a promotion event may also help LIV Golf’s case for being eligible to accrue OWGR points, which would help their players either become or stay eligible to play in major championships going forward.

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!
