Navigating the Path to Success: Your Guide to LIV Golf Promotions Criteria

Kalle Samooja of Finland celebrates after winning the inaugural LIV Golf Promotions 2023 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

We’re already gearing up for the 2025 showdown with the next LIV Golf Promotions.

It’s the place to be for any golfer with their eyes on the prize – and what a prize it is, with a cool US $1.5 million up for grabs!

Picture this: three full days where golfers from all over throw down in four intense rounds of stroke play.

It all builds up to a gruelling 36-hole marathon on the last day. And what’s on the line, you ask?

A guaranteed spot in next season’s LIV Golf League for the top finisher and a full pass to all the 2025 events on The International Series for the top 10 whizzes, including ties.
