Australasians battling for LIV Golf League places
Matt Jones – former Liv golfer trying to earn his way back
16 Australasian golfers are in the midst of a battle for the right to play LIV Golf in 2026, with qualifying currently underway in Lecanto in Florida for three places in the lucrative league, beginning this season on February 4th in Riyadh.
The event is played over 72 holes, although 18 of the field of 78 are exempt into round two, where they will meet the leading 20 players and ties from round one.
The leading twenty and ties from that group will then advance to the third round, where scores are reset for a 36-hole competition for three places in Liv Golf this season.
Further places are available in the International Series via this process.
Australasians entered in the field for the opening round are Cory Crawford, Mathias Sanchez, Nick Voke, Josh Geary, Harrison Crowe, Cameron John, Travis Smyth, Denzel Ieremia, Will Florimo, Jack Buchanan, Jason Scrivener and Brett Drewitt.
They will be joined by Wade Ormsby, Chris Wood, Ben Campbell and Matt Jones into round two.
