Greg Norman has confirmed a major late change to the LIV schedule this season which will see the finale move from Saudi Arabia to America.

LIV Golf Jeddah, previously scheduled for November 3-5, will now take place from October 13-15 at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club.

It was previously meant to be the final event of the LIV season but the 2023 LIV Golf League team championship will now take place from October 20-22 once again at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami.

The iconic Blue Monster course will stage the seeded three-day tournament featuring both matchplay and strokeplay to determine the team champions, which will wrap up the season two weeks earlier than originally planned.

“We’re thrilled to return to the Blue Monster at Doral to celebrate a historic year and crown the 2023 LIV Golf League team champion,” confirmed LIV Golf CEO and Commissioner Norman.

“The team concept has come to life this year in exciting new ways as our players and fans embrace the launch of team golf.

"We’re building up for an action-packed weekend with headline entertainment that will put an exclamation point on another can’t-miss LIV Golf event.”

Now LIV Golf Jeddah has effectively switch places with Doral which was originally scheduled to be the thirteenth and final tournament of the regular season.

During a 17-year career with the Daily Mirror, he covered mainly football but reported from The Open annually and also covered a Ryder Cup and three US Opens. He counts a pre-tournament exclusive with Justin Rose at Merion in 2013 as one of his most memorable as the Englishman went on to win his first Major and later repeated much of the interview in his winner’s speech.

His favourite track is the Old Course after attending St Andrews University but has since played mainly at Edgbaston, where he is a member. James’ golfing highlights include a hole-in-one and previously winning the club championship and scratch knock-out at Edgbaston. He is also an active member of the Association of Golf Writers and Press Golfing Society, for whom he has represented in matches.
