LIV Golf announces return to Riyadh for 2026 season opener

RIYADH: LIV Golf has confirmed its return to Saudi Arabia to launch its 2026 season from Feb. 5-7 under the lights at Riyadh Golf Club.

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.”

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 organizations 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 six-month golf program led by Golf Saudi, “Rising Stars” participants will benefit from the mentorship at global events from LIV Golf players such as Talor Gooch and Jason Kokrak, lessons from coaches, and inspiring talks from LIV Golf executives, among other experiences.

The 2026 season will be the second consecutive year LIV Golf opens its season in Riyadh, a key stop on the league’s international calendar and a symbol of the Kingdom’s growing commitment to elite sport.
