LIV Golf Promotions will offer one golden ticket to the breakaway tour for the 2025 season.

Only one player will earn a spot onto LIV in 2025, though, in a controversial move that has seen accusations the league is becoming even more of a closed shop. 

Professional golfers wanting to tee it up in the Promotions event had to enter by 18 November. 

The full field was announced on 9 December and GolfMagic has listed the players at the bottom of this page.

Former European Ryder Cupper Chris Wood is among those in the field.
