Canada’s Richard T. Lee, Sweden’s Bjorn Hellgren and American Anthony Kim earned the three wild card spots available through last week’s LIV Golf Promotions event.
They now join International Series qualifiers Scott Vincent and Yosuke Asaji as the five wild card players who will compete in the 13 regular season tournaments during the 2026 LIV Golf League season. Their next start on LIV Golf will be in the 2026 season opener in Riyadh on Feb. 4-7.
A total purse of $1,500,000 was on offer at the event, with first prize set at $200,000.
In the four-round knockout event, for those who failed to make it any further than Thursday’s first round, a payout of $5,000 was awarded. Players whose chances ended after round two, banked $10,000, while any amateurs were able to claim $1,000 no matter where they finished.
