LIV Golf has announced that they will be working with the USGA and R&A to elevate the course conditions across its 14 events.
LIV will use the R&A Sustainable Agronomy Service and the USGA Green Section to help advance ‘agronomic standards’ in a bid to bring courses to ‘peak competitive condition’.
Announcing the news on Wednesday, Ross Hallett, EVP, Head of Events at LIV Golf said: “Across 14 host cities worldwide, the preparation of our courses is fundamental to the success of each event.
“By implementing a comprehensive agronomic framework informed by the expertise of golf’s leading entities, we are able to elevate competitive standards year after year and ensure playing environments reflect the highest levels of professional sport.
“Our athletes are among the most competitive and knowledgeable in the game, and competing on courses prepared to exacting global standards is essential to supporting both performance evolution and sustained excellence.
“We appreciate the continued leadership of The R&A and the USGA and their enduring commitment to advancing the game at the highest level.”
As part of the consultation, the breakaway league claimed it will make efforts to invest in course conditions, clubhouse facilities and supporting infrastructure at its host venues.
LIV is already two events into its fifth season, after the circuit kicked off its 2026 campaign at Riyadh Golf Club earlier this month.
The opening tournament of the year was won by one of the league’s newest recruits, as Ripper GC member Elvis Smylie won on his LIV debut under the lights.
A week later the league then made its annual trip to Adelaide in front of a bumper Aussie crowd. Event two saw one of LIV’s biggest storylines yet play out, as Anthony Kim came away with victory.
It was Kim’s first professional win since 2010, and came two years after he made a shock return to pro golf following over a decade away from the game.
