The LIV Golf League is back for another season in 2025! Kicking off with LIV Golf Riyadh, the season opener for the 2025 LIV Golf League.

For the first time ever, LIV Golf will be played at night with each round of LIV Golf Riyadh schedule to begin under the lights, at the Riyadh Golf Club. This will be the first time that the tour has been played at this course in Saudi Arabia, after a successful visit from LIV Golf promotions in December of 2024.

The Par 72, 7,464 yard course, managed by Golf Saudi, was opened as a grass course in 2005 and is just 20 minutes away from central Riyadh nicknamed “The Oasis of the Capital”.

Standout holes include the 681 yard par 5 10th hole with strategically positioned sand bunkers, a narrow approach and lush vegetation and the intimidating par 3 7th hole of just 175 yards frequented with crosswinds and guarded by water on all sides, are two examples of holes which make RGC an excellent golf course.

The course is hosting a professional tournament for the third time in the last 10 weeks, having hosted the International Series’ PIF Saudi International powered by Soft Bank Investment Advisers in early December, followed by LIV Golf Promotions the following week.

The routing for this week’s LIV Golf Riyadh is different than LIV Golf Promotions. LIV Golf Riyadh will have added length and play to a par 72, while the Promotions event played to a par 71.
