LIV Golf is back in Mexico in 2025, but not in Mayakoba.
The event has moved to Club de Golf Chapultepec which held the Mexican Open on several occasions and hosted the WGC Mexico Championship four times between 2017 and 2020.
The club was established in 1921 and was designed by Willie and Alex Smith. It was redesigned by Percy Clifford in 1972. Having been a host venue on the PGA Tour, it now belongs to the LIV Golf League.
Charles Howell III won the first LIV Golf event held in Mexico in 2023 at El Camaleon and serial LIV winner Joaquin Niemann won at the same venue in 2024 in a playoff in the dark against Sergio Garcia.
Club de Golf Chapultepec will host the sixth event of the LIV Golf season, the one after the Masters. 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 Niemann, Garcia, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Cameron Smith and Tyrrell Hatton.

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.
