LIV Golf has announced a significant change to its tournament format, transitioning from the previously established 54-hole events to a traditional 72-hole format starting in 2026. This decision is seen as an effort to align more closely with the norms of professional golf and to enhance the competitive nature of its tournaments.
The shift comes as LIV Golf continues to adapt to the evolving landscape of the sport, aiming to attract a broader audience and maintain its relevance in the competitive golfing arena. This move may also influence player decisions as they consider the implications of participating in LIV Golf events.
As the league continues to navigate its identity, this change could signify a new chapter in its quest for legitimacy within the world of professional golf.
