LIV opts for 72-hole play next season

LIV Golf will abandon its abbreviated 54-hole format in favour of 72-hole tournaments in 2026, officials said on Tuesday.
-
The Saudi-backed circuit, whose name is derived from the Roman numeral for '54' had previously touted its three-round tournaments as a core distinction from traditional golf events.
However, the 54-hole format prevented LIV events from earning Official Golf World Rankings points, making it harder for LIV players to qualify for golf's majors.
A statement from LIV on Tuesday said the circuit's events will now be played over four days, with most starting on a Thursday.
