LIV Golf is set to go up against some of the PGA Tour’s biggest events early next year. The Saudi-backed league announced the first four tournaments of its 2025 schedule on Tuesday night, and each of the four contests share competition weeks with a notable Tour event.

Although the format is still being finalized, Zuriff anticipates elements from the Ryder Cup, which incorporates four-ball, alternate shot and singles matches. While he says The Match may still continue as more of a celebrity golf series, this new brand will be very different. "This is intense, real golf," Zuriff said.

There’s a PGA Tour A and a PGA Tour B schedule these days and it is evident in looking at where the pros who qualified for the Tour Championship by finishing in the top 30 on the FedEx Cup season-long standings teed it up this season.

LIV Golf will lean into its strategy of reaching out to global markets at the start of its 2025 season. And it will do so while also staring down its competition at the PGA Tour. LIV Golf officials revealed Tuesady night the first four events on what’s expected to be a 14-tournament schedule for next year.

Golf fans have been begging for some sort of event that pits the biggest stars on the PGA Tour against their LIV counterparts, and they are finally getting their wish.

LIV Golf released the dates for its first four tournaments in 2025, which shows that it is far from aligning with the PGA Tour.
