LIV Golf will return to Saudi Arabia to launch its 2026 season under the lights at LIV Golf Riyadh presented by ROSHN Group, taking place 5-7 February 2026 at Riyadh Golf Club.
ROSHN Group, Saudi Arabia’s leading multi-asset class real estate developer, continues with LIV Golf as global Pillar Partner for the 2026 season. As the two organisations work together to accelerate the sport’s growth with new audiences, ROSHN Group and LIV Golf will champion youth access to golf and promote golf training and talent development.
Last month, LIV Golf and ROSHN Group jointly launched the “Rising Stars” program, the first of its kind to educate and inspire young people in Saudi through the sport of golf. As part of a larger 6-month golf program led by Golf Saudi, “Rising Stars” participants will have benefited from the opportunity to receive mentorship at global events from LIV Golf players like Talor Gooch and Jason Kokrak, lessons from coaches, and inspiring talks from LIV Golf executives, among other experiences.

The 2026 season marks the second consecutive year LIV Golf opens its season in Riyadh, a key symbol of the Kingdom’s growing commitment to elite sport. LIV Golf Riyadh presented by ROSHN Group builds on the momentum of a groundbreaking 2025 event, which saw Cleeks Golf Club’s star Adrian Meronk claim a wire-to-wire individual victory and Legion XIII, captained by Jon Rahm, dominate the team competition in the league’s revamped four-score format.
The 2026 event calendar includes confirmed events in Adelaide (13-15 February), Singapore (13-15 March), South Africa (20-22 March), Mexico City (17-19 April), and the United Kingdom (24–26 July).
Ross Hallett, LIV Golf Executive Vice President, Head of Events, said, “Together, with ROSHN Group’s continued partnership, we’re excited to bring our global stars once again to Riyadh for our season opener in 2026.
“Last year’s event was the very first LIV Golf event played under lights, and it provided an electrifying start for players and fans alike, delivering a truly unique viewing experience and reinforcing LIV Golf’s commitment to innovation. 2026 will be bigger and better with a focus on providing an unforgeable experience including light shows, a food festival, fan experiences, fair rides, golf activities, hospitality, concerts and more! We are grateful for the support of Golf Saudi and Riyadh Golf Club who provide a world class facility for our players and teams to perform.”
Cleeks Golf Club’s Adrian Meronk, winner of LIV Golf Riyadh 2025, said, “Winning in Riyadh was one of the proudest moments of my 2025 season. Playing under the lights, in front of such an electric crowd, brought out the best in me.
“LIV Golf Riyadh presented by ROSHN Group will be unlike anything else in the game. It’s fast, it’s bold, and it sets the tone for the entire season. I can’t wait to return and defend my title in 2026.”
