For the fourth time since its inception, LIV Golf arrives in the UK for its final tournament outside the US this season.
After London’s Centurion Club hosted tournaments in 2022 and 2023, the honor fell to JCB Golf and Country Club in Staffordshire last year.
The course, which opened in 2018, is also the location for the 2025 event, where the field of 54 will compete over three days of action.
A year ago, Jon Rahm claimed his maiden LIV Golf title as the battle to claim the Individual Championship began to heat up.
He edged out the man he beat to that accolade, Joaquin Niemann, by one, along with Englishman and Legion XIII teammate Tyrrell Hatton and Ripper GC captain Cameron Smith.

As ever, there will be a shotgun start in all three rounds of the tournament, which begins on Friday, with only the ninth and 18th tee boxes not utilized to begin with on day one.
Instead, 48 of the field will begin in groups of three at 8.05am ET (1.05pm BST) on the other 16 holes, with the remaining six getting their challenges underway 11 minutes later from the first and 10 holes.
It is the first tee that will garner much of the attention as the action begins, with two-time Major winners Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau teeing it up alongside Hatton at 8.05am ET (1.05pm BST).
