Meet the three players who earned spots on LIV Golf in 2026 as wildcards via the Promotions Event
Three players have earned their spots on LIV Golf in 2026.
The 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event concluded Sunday afternoon at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida, with three players earning spots as wild cards on LIV Golf for the upcoming season. After 22 players advanced to the weekend, every one played 36 holes in a race for three spots, and those have now been filled.
In addition, the top 10 and ties earn exemption into the Asian Tour’s International Series in 2026. Included among those finishers is former LIV player Matt Jones, among others.
Meet the three players who earned spots on LIV Golf in 2026 as wild cards via the Promotions Event:
Richard T. Lee
Lee will become the first player from Canada to compete for LIV Golf this year, and he did so in dominating fashion. The 35-year-old carded four straight rounds in the 60s to earn a wild-card spot. He signed for a pair of 64s on the week to finish at 11 under for the 36-hole weekend shootout, winning the event by five shots.
