According to LIV, events will be held throughout Asia, Australia, the Middle East, North and Latin America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. However, the actual tournament calendar won't be made public later. Every LIV Golf League player is required to compete at every stop, where there is a $405 million total prize pool.
The goal is that "the finest players in the game will always be allowed to make their own decisions about where to participate," according to LIV, who stated in a release that the calendar would not conflict with either the majors or "legacy" events. Any member who participated in a LIV event has been suspended indefinitely by PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan.
The LIV Golf League will have the same 48 participants in 2019 as opposed to the model it used in 2018 when each stop included new players. Jason Kokrak, Charles Howell III, Paul Casey, and Henrik Stenson are all making their LIV debuts this week.
