Busan, Korea: LIV Golf has confirmed its return to Korea in 2026, with LIV Golf Korea set to be played from May 28-31.

Marking a new chapter for the league in Asia, the 2026 event will introduce Busan’s Asiad Country Club to the LIV Golf calendar in a multi-year agreement with the venue. Located in Korea’s second-largest city, the course has previously hosted international tournaments including the BMW Ladies Championship and the 2002 Asian Games and is regarded as one of the country’s finest championship venues.

Scott O’Neil, CEO of LIV Golf, said: “Bringing LIV Golf back to Korea, and to Busan for the first time, is an important next step for the league and for our fans here. The appetite for LIV Golf continues to grow, and Asiad Country Club, and the city of Busan gives us a venue that meets our ambitions for the event, both competitively and culturally in Korea. We’re excited to build on the momentum from our debut last season and deliver another memorable week for Korean fans.”

LIV Golf made its debut in Korea in 2025, where Bryson DeChambeau claimed the individual title and led his Crushers GC to a team victory, completing a memorable double sweep. DeChambeau will return in May to defend his title against a field including former Ryder Cup star Anthony Kim, who recently beat DeChambeau and Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm in dramatic fashion to claim the LIV Golf Adelaide individual title, his first professional win in nearly 16 years.

Home attention will centre on Korean Golf Club, featuring an all-Korean line-up led by captain An Byeong-hun alongside Kim Min-kyu, Song Young-han and Danny Lee. Formed in 2026, the team has already found momentum both on and off the course, securing domestic partners including HANWHA PLUS and apparel partner AMAZINGCRE. Backed by strong local support, Korean Golf Club brings its own distinct brand of K-Golf to the LIV Golf league, reflecting the culture, energy and growing influence of the game in Korea around the world.

An, Captain of Korean Golf Club, said: “Playing LIV Golf in Korea means a great deal to all of us. Competing at home, in front of Korean fans, brings a different level of pride. As a team, we’re excited to represent Korean golf on this stage and around the world, and we’re excited to show the energy, passion and competitiveness that define the way Korean Golf Club plays the game.”

A city known for its vibrant culture, energy, and iconic coastline, Busan will host LIV Golf for the first time, again expanding the league’s reach through its 14-event calendar taking place across 10 countries and five continents.

Park Heong-joon, Mayor of Busan Metropolitan City, said: “We are proud to welcome the LIV Golf League back to Korea and to host the event in Busan for the first time. Bringing a global sporting event of this scale to our city reflects Busan’s growing role as an international destination for sport, culture and tourism. We look forward to welcoming players, fans and visitors from around the world and showcasing the hospitality of Busan.”

As with last year’s event, which featured headline music acts including G-Dragon and IVE, the LIV Golf Korea experience will extend beyond the course, combining world-class competition with live music and unrivalled off-course entertainment.

The announcement of LIV Golf Korea 2026 marks the final event to be unveiled for LIV Golf’s 2026 season. The global golf league will host 14 events across 10 countries and five continents during the 2026 season, including its first-ever event in South Africa (March 19-22), alongside stops in Saudi Arabia, Adelaide, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, Spain, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Notably, LIV Golf has already broken attendance records at LIV Golf Adelaide 2026, drawing more than 115,000 fans across the four-day tournament – and including a single-day crowd exceeding 38,500 spectators, both new highs for the League and for professional golf events in Australia.

All 14 LIV Golf events in 2026 will be broadcast live in Korea on JTBC.
