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.
