LIV Golf has announced three new US championship venues that will host tournaments during the 2023 league schedule.
The Gallery Golf Club in Tucson, Cedar Ridge Country Club in Tulsa and The Green Brier will welcome some of the world’s biggest golf stars, with ground passes for all three events on sale now.
Commenting on expanding their schedule, LIV Golf CEO and commissioner, Greg Norman, said: “LIV Golf’s expansion to new U.S. markets adds to the growing excitement for the league launch in 2023.”
“More fans across the country and around the globe will experience the LIV Golf energy and innovative competition that has reinvigorated the sport, and these championship courses will contribute to the transformative season ahead for players, fans and the game of golf,” he said.
Additional, dates for each tournament have also been announced, with The Gallery Golf Club running from 17-19 March, Cedar Ridge from 12-14 May and The Green Brier from 4-6 August.
On hosting a LIV event, Escalante Golf president, David McDonald, said: “As stewards of some of the finest private clubs in the country — and as golf fans ourselves — we’ve always sought ways to partner with professional golf events, because of the positive impact they have on the game of golf and the communities in which they take place. After hosting two LIV Golf Invitationals in 2022, we’ve seen great benefits conferred to the memberships at both Pumpkin Ridge and The International. So, we’re excited for 2023 and for the value the event will bring to the membership at The Gallery, as well as our vendors, partners and the greater Marana community.”
Cedar Ridge Country Club president, Billy Lowry, added: “Cedar Ridge is excited to host LIV Golf’s Oklahoma debut in Tulsa. Oklahoma has a rich history of hosting major professional events at many venues across the state. Cedar Ridge has been a part of that history and we look forward to hosting professional golf again next year. We are proud to have the opportunity to welcome 48 of the world’s best players to battle it out at Cedar Ridge. The opportunity to watch Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Cameron Smith as well as a handful of players with Oklahoma ties in a new tournament format featuring Team as well as Individual champions will be exciting.”
The news comes after LIV announced a multi-year commitment to Australia with an event in Adelaide.
