LIV Golf Season Finale REVEALED with New Venue and Updated Format for $50 Million Tag Team Championship
- The three-day tournament will feature 13 different teams from September 20-22.
- The Maridoe Golf Club course is considered one of the most difficult in the region.
LIV Golf’s season finale has been revealed with a new venue and updated format for the league’s $50 million team championship, which will take place in Dallas, Texas this fall.
On Tuesday, LIV announced that its three-day tournament would be held at Maridoe Golf Club in Carrollton – a suburb of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area – from September 20-22. It will include both match play and stroke play.
Adjustments to the team championship format have been implemented to improve competition. These updates include all 13 competing teams, with only the top three teams receiving a first-round bye and automatically qualifying for Saturday’s semi-finals.
Ten teams ranked 4-13 will compete Friday in five quarterfinal matches, with matchups determined during a live press conference featuring team captains during tournament week. The five winners of the first round of match play will then advance to the semi-finals.
To improve strategy within the competition, team captains can choose to participate in singles or foursomes clashes during the first two days of match play.

Maridoe Golf Club in Carrollton – a suburb of Dallas, Texas – will host the tournament in September.
“Our LIV Golf players look forward to playing in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with its great golf tradition,” said Greg Norman, commissioner and CEO of LIV Golf.
“Texas is legendary for producing and hosting great golfers who set the bar high while competing for championships. Our LIV Golf Team Championship at Maridoe Golf Club will be a great experience for our players and all fans in attendance.
Maridoe Golf Club, located just 20 miles from downtown Dallas, was ranked by Golf Digest as one of the top three new private courses in 2018. The course is considered one of the most challenging in the area, with a length of 7,817 meters.
Greg Norman, CEO of LIV Golf, called the new venue a “great experience” for players and fans.
Last season, the team championship in Miami was highlighted by a thrilling final won by Crushers GSC, consisting of Byson DeChambeau, Paul Casey, Charles Howell III and Arniban Lahiri.
Halfway through the 2024 season, the Crushers have maintained their form with back-to-back team wins in Jeddah and Hong Kong and sit in first place with 105.50 points.
Legion XIII, LIV’s new expansion team with captain Jon Rahm, Tyrell Hatton, Kieran Vincent and Caleb Surratt, has also won twice and sits in second place with 94 points.
LIV Golf’s global field includes 14 major champions as well as many of the biggest names in the sport, including Brooks Koepka (Smash GC), Dustin Johnson (4Aces GC, Phil Mickelson (HyFlyers GC), Sergio Garcia (Fireballs GC), Bubba Watson (RangeGoats GC), Talor Gooch (Smash GC), Louis Oosthuizen (Stinger GC) and many others.
