The top two finishers at a new LIV Golf Promotions event in Florida in January will earn spots in the league for 2026.

At previous years' qualifiers held in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, only the winners earned a tour card.

The expanded four-round event (only 54 holes in previous years) will be held from January 8-11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida.

In addition, the top two finishers in the 2025 International Series rankings who are not already exempt will also earn places in LIV Golf for 2026, up from just one exemption granted in previous years.

Zimbabwe's Scott Vincent and the Philippines' Miguel Tabuena currently sit in first and second place heading into the final two tournaments on the calendar.

"LIV Golf continues to expand pathways for players around the world to qualify into the first truly global golf league," said LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil.

"As fan interest in LIV Golf continues to increase and the opportunity to compete across the US, Asia Pacific, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East against some of the biggest names in golf grows, it's only natural that we broaden access for talented, ambitious players to earn their way into the league."

The top 10 finishers, including ties, at the LIV Golf Promotions event in Florida will earn full exemption into the 2026 International Series.

The promotions event also includes a $1.5 million prize purse, with $200 000 to the winner.
