For the second consecutive year, LIV Golf Riyadh presented by ROSHN Group returns to the hallowed fairways of Riyadh Golf Club to launch its 2026 season, reaffirming its place as one of the most anticipated fixtures on Saudi Arabia’s sporting calendar.
From Thursday February 5 to Saturday February 7, the world’s finest golfers will converge upon the urban course, renowned for its vast green oasis, measuring 7,000 yards from the pro’s tees, manmade lakes and streams, the network of wadis, and formidable challenges.
Following a dramatic debut under the lights in 2025, the stage is set for another enthralling chapter in the competition. Fans can expect to see a stellar field including Meronk, the defending individual champion from Cleeks Golf Club, along with defending team champion Legion XIII, featuring Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, Tom McKibbin and Caleb Surratt. They’ll be joined by international stars including 2025 season points leader and LIV Golf Jeddah 2024 champion Joaquin Niemann (Torque GC), Bryson DeChambeau (Crushers GC), LIV Golf Jeddah 2023 champion Brooks Koepka (Smash GC), Sergio Garcia (Fireballs GC), Cam Smith (Ripper GC), and Dustin Johnson (4Aces GC), amongst many others.
The 2026 event is set to kickstart a packed global calendar that includes confirmed events in Adelaide (February 13 to 15), Singapore (March 13 to 15), South Africa (March 20 to 22), Mexico City (April 17 to 19), and the United Kingdom (July 24 to 26).
