Following the first LIV Golf Invitational Series, the LIV Golf Invitational Jeddah 2023 is part of the second season of LIV Golf. The thirteenth edition, the Jeddah Invitational, takes place at the Royal Greens in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from October 13 to October 15.
In addition to a team championship event at the end of the season, there are fourteen 54-hole tournaments with 48 participants and no cut. There are 48 players and 12 teams vying for a total of $405 million in prize money.
There will be twelve teams in the 2023 LIV Golf League. In contrast to the 2022 Invitational Series format, in which players frequently switched teams weekly, the 2023 season is expected to feature players who sign with certain teams and play for those teams the whole time. On February 15, 2023, LIV Golf announced the rosters of its teams.

LIV Jeddah was won by Brooks Koepka over Talor Gooch in a play-off, although the runner-up took home £14.8 million as the season's overall winner. At the Royal Greens course in Saudi Arabia, Koepka, 33, who has won five major championships, shot a two-under 68 to finish three rounds later at 14 under par.
Gooch, another American, had a 62 to reel him in, but he won the play-off with a birdie on the second hole. Koepka, who finished third overall, took home £3.3 million for the victory. The PGA champion this year was awarded the same prize for finishing second in the season's rankings. Cameron Smith, 30, of Australia, who won the 2022 Open, finished second overall.
After winning in Adelaide and Singapore in April and the Andalusia event at Valderrama in July, Gooch, 31, was aiming for his fourth tournament victory of the year. He had already secured his multi-million-dollar triumph in the overall rankings by the time he even tied the score with Koepka to trigger a play-off.
