LIV Golf’s 2024 campaign called for 14 tournaments, yet the schedule as of yesterday showed only 12 on the docket. Today, the league provided details for the season’s 13th tournament: LIV Golf Chicago will take place September 13-15 at Bolingbrook Golf Club and act as the League’s 2024 Individual Championship.
The Chicago event will see players jockey for final positions and the title of 2024 LIV Golf League Individual Champion. The event will also determine team seedings for the 2024 Team Championship, to be announced at a later date.
Tickets for the Individual Championship go on sale next Wednesday, May 8 at 10 am CDT at LIVGolf.com.
“The passionate sports fans of Chicago have embraced the intense competition and fan-first experience that LIV Golf delivers,” said Commissioner and CEO Greg Norman in a press release.
“And this year it will be an incredible setting for a high-stakes event as players battle it out for the individual title and a roster spot for 2025.
“We’re thrilled to return to Illinois with an event at Bolingbrook Golf Club as we celebrate the season-long race and set the stage for the 2024 finale.”
Designed by famed architect Arthur Hills and partner Steve Forrest, Bolingbrook Golf Club is located just 30 miles from downtown Chicago and features a 156-yard island green on its signature 15th hole. The 7,104-yard layout offers rolling fairways and elevated greens winding around seven lakes.
Selected by the PGA Tour as one of the host venues for its Forme Tour in 2021, Bolingbrook will host this year’s LIV Golf Chicago event, where players at the top of the standings will have their sights set on the season-long individual title.
As the final event before the LIV Golf Team Championship, the tournament will also serve as the last opportunity for players to earn points in the 2024 individual standings. Those who finish in the Lock Zone (1-24) will secure their opportunity to play in the League in 2025 while players with expiring contracts who finish in the Open Zone (25-48) will become free agents with the opportunity to be re-signed by their team or picked up by another team.
Players finishing in the Drop Zone (49 and below) are relegated out of the League and qualify for the 2024 LIV Golf Promotions tournament. Last season, the Individual Championship in Jeddah featured a thrilling playoff between eventual tournament winner Brooks Koepka and Talor Gooch, whose performance secured the 2023 season-long title in a dramatic final-day race with Cameron Smith and Bryson DeChambeau.
As noted, details on the 2024 Team Championship event will be announced soon.
LIV Golf’s global field features 14 major champions as well as many of the sport’s most popular names: Jon Rahm (Legion XIII), Brooks Koepka (Smash GC), Bryson DeChambeau (Crushers GC), Cameron Smith (Ripper GC), Dustin Johnson (4Aces GC), Phil Mickelson (HyFlyers GC), Sergio Garcia (Fireballs GC), Joaquin Niemann (Torque GC), Tyrrell Hatton (Legion XIII), Talor Gooch (Smash GC), Bubba Watson (RangeGoats GC), and Patrick Reed (4Aces GC), among others.
