LIV Golf adds second event in Florida; moves tournament at Doral one week earlier in schedule
LIV Golf is adding one event in Florida in 2023 and has moved its tournament at Trump National Doral from the final event to the next-to-last week of the season.
The full schedule, first reported by Sports Illustrated, includes 14 events, as expected, up from eight in LIV's inaugural season. The season starts next month at Mayakoba in Mexico and will include eight events in the U.S. and six internationally.
LIV will be rebranding to the LIV Golf League this year. The league, headed by Palm Beach Gardens' Greg Norman and financed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, announced a television deal with the CW Network on Thursday.

The league is expected to officially release the schedule this week.
Sports Illustrated also reported Norman's role in the company will increase with Majed Al-Sorour, CEO of the Golf Saudi Federation, leaving his position as LIV Golf’s managing director but remaining as one of seven LIV Golf board members.
This comes after Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy both said Norman should step away completely from the league as commissioner and CEO. Norman called Woods "a bit of a mouthpiece for the PGA Tour."
LIV Golf Orlando will be at Orange County National in Winter Garden March 31 to April 2 and follow LIV Golf Tucson (March 17-19) as the second U.S. event of the season. Orange County National is one of five new venues in the country joining those in Arizona, Oklahoma, Virginia and West Virginia. LIV will return to Bedminster, N.J., Sugar Grove, Ill,; and Doral.
Trump National Doral was the site of the 2022 season finale that determined the team championship. The season now will end at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia, Nov. 3-5.
The event in Doral will be Oct. 20-22 and the third played at a Trump-owned property.
LIV will play two events abroad in April - Australia and Singapore - before returning to the U.S. for LIV Golf Tulsa (May 12-14) and LIV Golf Washington D.C. at Trump National in Virginia (May 26-28).
Events in Spain and England will be followed by the tournaments in West Virginia; Bedminster, N.J.; Illinois and Doral before the season finale.
