The 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event at Florida’s Black Diamond Ranch culminated in a dramatic showcase of athletic excellence and personal redemption, ultimately determining the final three wild card selections for the upcoming season. Canadian golfer Richard T. Lee delivered a masterclass in consistency, dominating the field with a staggering 21-under-par total to secure a five-stroke victory and become the first Canadian to earn a spot in the LIV Golf League.
Lee’s performance was characterized by relentless precision, carding rounds of 64, 66, 64, and 65 throughout the knockout stages and final shootout. His commanding lead established a formidable benchmark for the competition.
Sweden’s Bjorn Hellgren authored a spectacular Sunday comeback, battling back from outside the top ten with a course-record-tying 64. Fresh off his victory at the Saudi Open, Hellgren demonstrated remarkable composure under pressure, opening with consecutive birdies and closing with four birdies in his final six holes to secure his position.
The most narrative-rich qualification belonged to American Anthony Kim, who completed a remarkable professional resurgence. After returning from a 12-year retirement in 2024 only to face relegation, Kim’s persistent dedication to rebuilding his game culminated in his third season earning LIV Golf wild card status. His journey reflects profound personal determination amid significant professional challenges.
These three qualifiers join International Series winners Scott Vincent and Yosuke Asaji to complete the five-player wild card group. All will compete throughout LIV Golf’s 13-event regular season, commencing with the February 4-7 season opener in Riyadh. Additionally, all top-ten finishers at Promotions earned playing privileges on the Asian Tour’s International Series for 2026.
