LIV Golf is right back at it this week as players travel from Thailand to Saudi Arabia.
How to watch 2022 LIV Golf in Jeddah : Schedule, field of players, prize money, purse, live stream, watch online. Playing in back-to-back weeks for the first time in its existence, the end of the LIV Golf regular season is upon us. With six events under its belt, LIV Golf in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, serves as the final regular-season stop on the heels of an exciting tournament in Bangkok, Thailand, last week.
While some of the regular-season accolades have already been shelled out, there is still plenty to compete for as players and teams jostle for positioning ahead of the Team Championship later this month in Miami. Dustin Johnson has wrapped up the individual points race as the two-time major winner has been terrific in his first stint with LIV Golf while collecting $18 million for his efforts.

Johnson captured the LIV Golf Boston title in dramatic fashion in a playoff over Anirban Lahiri and Joaquin Niemann, and has four other top-10 finishes to his credit. His team, the 4 Aces, remains in the top spot as well but may be seen as vulnerable after being upended by the Fireballs at LIV Golf Bangkok and missing out on the podium entirely.
With the top-three finishers from the regular season receiving additional monetary prizes at the end of LIV Golf Jeddah, Branden Grace and Patrick Reed will look to fend off potential pursuers. Grace was forced to withdraw from LIV Golf Bangkok with a muscle strain, and it is unknown if the LIV Golf Portland winner will be ready in time to compete.

This leaves the door open for LIV Golf Chicago winner Cameron Smith, who currently occupies the fourth spot in the standings. The Champion Golfer of the Year is 20 points behind the second-place Grace, and with 40 points given to the winner, may be able to catch his LIV Golf counterpart with a strong showing in Jeddah.

Travel & Parking
Royal Greens Golf & Country Club is located in the heart of the Al Murooj district of King Abdullah Economic City, 125 km north of Jeddah and 111 km north of King Abdulaziz International Airport. It is easily accessible via car so driving or taxi is recommended. Getting the train is also an excellent way of reaching KAEC from Jeddah, although a taxi will then be required to get from the station to the venue.
Accommodation
As a wealthy Middle Eastern country, most accommodation in Saudi Arabia is mid to high-end. Although there are plenty of affordable options, don’t expect to find ‘budget’ accommodation.
Destination & Tourism
Having only been in construction since 2005, King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) is a brand-spangling new city full of promise and excitement. The purpose of constructing an entirely new city near to Jeddah was to create a place with extraordinary economic opportunities where families could flourish. And it has done just that. From its myriad restaurants and shops to its adventurous outdoor spaces, this ultra-modern coastal city allows you to immerse in the future of the Middle East. Spend your days jet-skiing in the Red Sea, soaking up the Saudi sun at the beach, devouring sunset dinners by the bay, and much more.
