The story

LIV Golf Riyadh in Riyadh

LIV Golf Riyadh is a professional golf tournament on the LIV Golf League, played at Riyadh Golf Club under floodlights as part of the league's global, no-cut team-format schedule. It is broadcast internationally, including on Fox Sports in the United States, as one stop on LIV Golf's roughly fourteen-event season.

Professional golf split into competing structures when LIV Golf launched in 2022, backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and built around ideas the traditional PGA Tour had resisted for decades: team competition layered onto individual scoring, a shotgun start sending every group off simultaneously rather than staggered tee times, and a 54-hole, no-cut format that removed the possibility of missing a weekend's paycheck.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

LIV Golf Riyadh's defining feature is that it is played under floodlights, letting competition continue after dark in a way conventional professional golf events rarely attempt

02

The mystery stays covered

As a home event for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf League, it also carries symbolic weight beyond an ordinary tour stop: Riyadh Golf Club functions as something close to a flagship venue for the league that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund created to challenge the traditional PGA Tour model, combining team scoring, a shotgun start format, and a no-cut structure that differs sharply from standard stroke-play tournaments
