LIV Golf, the circuit bankrolled by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, will kick off its 2025 season by playing in the country’s capital city, Riyadh, for the first time.
The tournament, scheduled for Feb. 6-8, will be held at Riyadh Golf Club.
Currently in its third season, LIV Golf has played three events in Saudi Arabia, all at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club near Jeddah.
The tour’s announcement on Tuesday named the first four sites of the 2025 season.
“As we set our sights on 2025, LIV Golf is gearing up for our most ambitious season start to date,” LIV Golf commissioner and CEO Greg Norman said in a statement. “Since our debut in 2022, LIV Golf has played 34 tournaments in nine different countries across four continents. We are a global league with a global footprint, and we’re excited to kick off next season with four truly international events that will deliver our unique blend of elite golf, entertainment and culture to fans around the world.”

LIV Golf Hong Kong is scheduled for March 7-9. The tour played at Hong Kong Golf Club for the first time this year, and Mexico’s Abraham Ancer emerged on top.
The next week, LIV Golf Singapore comes to Sentosa Golf Club for the third year in a row. Gooch won there in 2023, and Brooks Koepka got the victory in Singapore this year.
