Three new members joined the LIV Golf League following the league's Abu Dhabi promotion tournament. The inaugural LIV Golf Promotions event took place over three days, December 8-10, at Abu Dhabi Golf Club in the UAE.

The top three finishers on the scoreboard, Kalle Samooja, Kieran Vincent, and Jinichiro Kozuma, earned an opportunity to compete in the third edition of the Saudi circuit. Samooja registered a victory in the tournament after playing the lowest round of under 8.

With a score of under 7, Kieran Vincent came in second, in a tie with Jinichiro Kozuma and Laurie Canter. After Samooja took the lead on the scoreboard, the latter fought for the two slots in a playoff.
