With 18 LIV Golf players in the first two majors of the year and with extraordinary results of several of its representatives in both events (Brooks Koepka, winner at the PGA Championship and second at the Masters, where he shared place with Phil Mickelson; Cameron Smith, fourth at the Masters and ninth at the PGA Championship; Bryson DeChambeau fourth at this last major…), it is absolutely clear that the circuit led by Greg Norman has many of the best current stars of world golf.
And the Real Club Valderrama and the thousands of fans who will gather at the prestigious course that hosted the 1997 Ryder Cup will enjoy them from June 30 to July 2 with the first LIV Golf tournament to be played on continental European soil.
Winners of majors, world number ones and other world-class players will compete -many of them for the first time- in Spain, which is one more incentive to come to RC Valderrama.
With the fans at the center of every tournament on the innovative circuit, LIV Golf Valderrama presents golf enthusiasts with a fun-filled three-day sporting experience.
Sergio Garcia is part of the LIV Golf family, captaining his team, Fireballs GC, to a victory at LIV Golf Bangkok in October 2022 and LIV Golf Tucson in March 2023. Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Abraham Ancer and Phil Mickelson are just a few of the other world-class players expected to compete at Valderrama.
The official LIV Golf League schedule consists of 14 tournaments with a format in which both players and teams compete for titles.
If one does not have the opportunity to attend RC Valderrama in person, one can watch LIV Golf tournaments live on The CW Network, on The CW app or on LIV Golf Plus, an app that delivers league events to audiences in more than 180 countries.

LIV GOLF: THE GLOBAL SPORTS SENSATION
LIV Golf visited prestigious golf courses during its inaugural 2022 season, including London’s Centurion Club and Chicago’s Rich Harvest Farms, and continues to visit championship courses around the world.
It is a revolutionary golf league, with 12 teams, 48 players, three tournament rounds, shotgun starts, no cuts, shorter playing windows and smaller courses. The name LIV Golf comes from the Roman numeral 54, known in the sport as the perfect score over 18 holes. Each LIV Golf League season culminates in an exciting team championship.
Led by its CEO, Greg Norman, a former World No. 1 golfer and member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, LIV Golf’s unique format and booming rivalries have already captured the attention of golf fans around the world.
“We have received tremendous fan response throughout our year of beta testing, with one resounding theme: LIV Golf’s team format, innovations and festival-like events are providing a one-of-a-kind golf experience,” Norman said. “The past year has helped lay the foundation for the future of golf on extraordinary courses that have hosted some of the world’s best competitions. The LIV Golf calendar features fantastic championship venues and locations for our official league launch that will take the sport into a new era.”
Individual and team winners will share a $405 million prize purse during the LIV Golf League season. Each tournament is endowed with $25 million, of which the winner pockets $4 million, while the champion team takes home $3 million ($750,000 for each player). The second individual winner receives a prize of 2,125,000 dollars, the third, 1,500,000 dollars, and the fourth, 1,050,000 dollars. All players receive income for simply participating in the tournament, with the last place finisher receiving $120,000. ■
