The LIV Golf League is a professional golf circuit, though its name “LIV” represents Roman No. 54, symbolizing the number of holes to be played in its events, and also the score that will be obtained if all 18 holes are birdied.
In June 2022, the Centurion Club in the UK's Hertfordshire region, close to St. Albans hosted the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series competition, and by 2023, it had transformed into the LIV Golf we now know.
The Saudi Arabian government wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund, is the source of funding for LIV Golf. However, a few online reports suggest that the league is an attempt by Saudi's monarchy to use sports as a catalyst for boosting its global image, as there have been a few accusations of corruption and violations of human rights.
LIV Golfers for the 2023-24 Season
The third season of LIV Golf, the 2024 LIV Golf League, will feature 54 players and no-cut tournaments, culminating in a team championship event at the end of the season.

LIV Golf, like its PGA counterpart, requires specific qualifications. This season, there will be 13 teams and 54 players on the circuit. Bernd Wiesberger, Chase Koepka, Sihwan Kim, James Plot, and Jediah Morgan are the four players who will not be participating in LIV Golf this season.
Wild card competitors, who will compete in the individual competition without being a part of a team, are new for the 2024 season. The first two wild cards to play in the 2024 season were revealed by LIV Golf on January 31, 2024.
