Broadcasting

In the United States, The CW will broadcast and stream the tournaments under a multi-year deal with the organization signed in January 2023.[3]

Teams

The 2023 LIV Golf League will consist of twelve teams. Unlike the structure of the 2022 Invitational Series, where some players regularly changed teams from week-to-week, the 2023 season is planned to have players signed to individual teams and will remain with that team throughout the entire season. LIV Golf began announcing team rosters on 15 February 2023.[4]
