LIV Golf is in South Korea for the first time in 2025.
The event will be held at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club, which was a DP World Tour venue as recently as last year. It held the Genesis Championship, but this year, that event still hasn’t got a confirmed venue.
The club was established in 2010 and was designed by Jack Nicklaus Design. Not only was it a DP World Tour venue, but it also hosted the Presidents Cup in 2015 – the first of its kind in Asia.
The venue also hosted a Champions Tour event in 2010 and the International Crown on the LPGA Tour in 2018, which is an eight-nation team event.
Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea will host the seventh event of the LIV Golf season, the one before the PGA Championship. As per usual, in each LIV Golf event, the stars will be out and it is the same roster of stars playing each week, including Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Cameron Smith, Tyrrell Hatton, Joaquin Niemann and Sergio Garcia.

The top 24 golfers on the 54-man leaderboards will score points. The top eight teams on the 13-team leaderboard score points. To no one’s surprise, the player with the lowest stroke play score after 54 holes wins the event.
In the team format, all players’ scores in each four-man team count for all three days of the event. Before 2025, only the top three scores from each team counted for the first two days, and all four counted for the final round.
Who owns LIV Golf?
The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, a sovereign wealth fund that is racing towards a trillion dollars in worth, is the primary investor of LIV Golf.
These riches would explain why the top stars have received huge sign-up fees, north of $100,000,000 in some cases, and why this start-up tour has made such a splash in the professional game.
