LIV Golf announces team championship venue, set for 7th event in the United States
LIV Golf finalized the venue for its season-ending team championship, which will take place in the U.S.
LIV Golf will conclude its season in the United States.
The Saudi-backed circuit announced Wednesday that Maridoe Golf Club, located in Carrollton, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, will host the league’s season-ending team championship from Sept. 20-22.
It will mark the 14th event of the season and the seventh held in the United States.
“Our LIV Golf players are looking forward to playing in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with its great golf tradition,” said LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman.
“Texas is legendary for producing and hosting great golfers who set a high bar while competing for championships. Our LIV Golf Team Championship at Maridoe Golf Club will be a great experience for our players and all the fans in attendance.”
Funny enough, Wednesday’s announcement comes the same week the PGA Tour is visiting the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Colonial Country Club, which has hosted a PGA Tour event every year since 1946, will once again welcome some of the best players in the world for this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge.

The Dallas area has produced great tournaments over the years, namely at Colonial and the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. The Dallas Athletic Club recently hosted U.S. Open qualifiers, which saw LIV Golf’s Sergio Garcia narrowly miss out.
The region is also home to many top players within the sport, namely Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth.
However, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex has never hosted a LIV Golf event. That will change this year during the season-ending championship, which will mark the second LIV tournament held in Texas this year. The Golf Club in Houston will welcome LIV Golf in June, the next scheduled event.
The remaining schedule for the 2024 LIV Golf season follows below:
- LIV Golf Houston — Golf Club of Houston — Jun. 7-9
- LIV Golf Nashville — The Grove — Jun. 21-23
- LIV Golf Andalucía — Real Club Valderrama — Jul 12-14
- LIV Golf United Kingdom — JCB Golf and Country Club — Jul 26-28
- LIV Golf Greenbrier — The Old White at Greenbrier — Aug. 16-18
- LIV Golf Chicago — Bolingbrook Golf Club — Sept. 13-15
- Team Championship Dallas — Maridoe Golf Club — Sept. 20-22
