RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The eyes of the sporting world are on the Riyadh Golf Club tonight, Saturday, February 7, as the 2026 LIV Golf season-opener reaches its historic 72-hole conclusion. With a $4 million individual prize and a $30 million total purse on the line, the final round promises a high-stakes sprint under the desert floodlights.
Heading into the final 18 holes, Talor Gooch (Smash GC) holds a narrow lead at 11-under par, but he is being stalked by a leaderboard of legends. Jon Rahm (Legion XIII) and Bryson DeChambeau (Crushers GC) both sit within two strokes, setting up a “clutch” showdown that has become the hallmark of the league’s new four-round format.
The action begins with a shotgun start at 6:05 PM local time. Once the final putt drops and the podium ceremony concludes at the Concert Stage, the atmosphere will shift from competitive intensity to a global celebration.
The Saturday Night Lineup:
- 6:05 PM: Final Round Shotgun Start.
- 10:45 PM: Podium & Trophy Ceremony.
- 11:15 PM: Post-round entertainment kicks off at the Concert Stage.
