Ten tournaments of the 14-event 2025 LIV Golf season have now been announced. As befits the global golf league, no less than eight countries in four continents will play host to at least one LIV Golf event next year.

Here are some other notes and observations regarding the 10 events, with tickets (or pre-sale) now available:

• The three new venues thus far are Riyadh, Korea and Indianapolis. In LIV Golf’s first three years, a total of 24 courses hosted tournaments, so that will increase to at least 27.

• South Korea now becomes the 10th different country to host a LIV Golf event.

• Indianapolis becomes the 13th different state in the U.S. to host a LIV Golf event. In 2023, Nevada, Texas and Tennessee hosted their first events.

• Indianapolis becomes the third different venue (in as many years) to host the Individual Championship, the final event of the regular season. Jeddah hosted it the first two seasons; Chicago last year.

• Chicago becomes the first city in any country to host a LIV Golf tournament in each of its first four seasons – albeit at two different venues. Bolingbrook returns as the host course for the second straight year.

• By the way, the first three individual winners in Chicago were Cam Smith (2022), Bryson DeChambeau (2023) and Jon Rahm (2024). 

• The return to the JCB Golf & Country Club means the UK becomes the third country to host a LIV Golf tournament each year, joining Saudi Arabia and the U.S.

• Korea becomes the fifth different Asian country to host a tournament.

• The Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea becomes the first former Presidents Cup venue to host a LIV Golf tournament. LIV Golf Andalucia’s Valderrama was the first former Ryder Cup venue for LIV Golf.

• Among the competitors in that 2015 Presidents Cup in Korea were 2024 LIV Golf regulars Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed and Bubba Watson (for the U.S.) and Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel, Marc Leishman, Danny Lee and Branden Grace (for the International team). Of those nine players, Oosthuizen had the best individual performance, producing a 4-0-1 record in a losing cause.

• 187 miles (according to Google) separates Bolingbrook in Chicago and The Club at Chatham Hills in Indianapolis. That will be the closest distance two LIV Golf events have ever been played in back-to-back weeks.

• On the flip side, a distance of 7,273 miles separates Riyadh and Adelaide. That will be the farthest distance two LIV Golf events have been played in back-to-back weeks, just outdistancing the 7,219 miles from Jeddah to Miami that ended the 2023 season.
