We all know that LIV Golf has been making waves in the golf world, and now the organization is set to undergo a significant change in leadership. According to reports, former NBA and NHL executive Scott O’Neil is poised to take over as CEO and commissioner, replacing the outgoing Greg Norman. The move comes at a pivotal time for LIV Golf, as its financial backers, the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, engage in discussions to inject over $1 billion into PGA Tour Enterprises. Norman’s future with the league remains uncertain, although it’s possible he may still be present in some capacity.

Amid the rumors of a potential deal between LIV Golf and the DP World Tour, a closer look at their 2025 schedules reveals a surprising level of coordination. According to the Fried Egg Golf newsletter, LIV Golf’s first five tournaments in 2025 overlap with only one titled event on the DP World Tour, a significant reduction from the conflicts seen in 2024. This alignment raises the possibility of athletes competing in a substantial number of tournaments on both circuits.

The 2025 schedules show several instances of convenient timing, such as the DP World Tour’s Porsche Singapore Classic starting just four days after LIV Singapore concludes. Similarly, LIV Golf has scheduled an event concurrently with an untitled DP World Tour Middle East Event in February. These coincidences have sparked speculation about a potential partnership or merger between LIV Golf and the DP World Tour, which could have significant implications for the future of professional golf.

Now, let’s have a look at this controversial schedule, shall we?

LIV Golf and DP World Tour Schedules Align in 2025

The buzz around a potential partnership between the DP World Tour and LIV Golf just got a lot more interesting. Take a look at their schedules for 2025 – it’s almost like they’re trying to make it easy for players to compete on both tours. I mean, check out the dates: February 6th, LIV Golf is in Riyadh, and the DP World Tour just so happens to have an unnamed Middle East Event on the same day. And then there’s the Singapore swing, where the DP World Tour’s Porsche Singapore Classic starts just four days after LIV Golf Singapore wraps up. It’s almost like they’re coordinating their schedules to make life easier for players.

The rest of the schedule is just as intriguing. LIV Golf has events in Hong Kong, Adelaide, and Korea, all of which are conveniently located near DP World Tour events. And then there’s the UK event in July, which could potentially attract some big names. Of course, this could all just be a coincidence, but it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on. Could we be seeing the beginnings of a beautiful friendship between the DP World Tour and LIV Golf? Only time will tell.
