LIV Golf reveals plan to advance agronomic conditions

LIV Golf announced The R&A Sustainable Agronomy Service and the USGA Green Section will work with the global tour to advance agronomic standards in its 14-event season that spans 10 countries and five continents.

LIV Golf will implement a unified agronomic evaluation and preparation framework, using the expertise of these consulting services to elevate host courses to peak competitive condition in an environmentally responsible way and deliver championship-caliber playing standards worldwide.

“Our commitment to delivering championship-caliber playing conditions and world-class competition across the LIV Golf League is strengthened by our alignment with The R&A Sustainable Agronomy Service and the USGA Green Section,” said Ross Hallett, executive vice president, head of events at LIV Golf. “Across 14 host cities worldwide, the preparation of our courses is fundamental to the success of each event. By implementing a comprehensive agronomic framework informed by the expertise of golf’s leading entities, we are able to elevate competitive standards year after year and ensure playing environments reflect the highest levels of professional sport.

“Our athletes are among the most competitive and knowledgeable in the game and competing on courses prepared to exacting global standards is essential to supporting both performance evolution and sustained excellence. We appreciate the continued leadership of The R&A and the USGA and their enduring commitment to advancing the game at the highest level.”

The consulting services in agronomy provided by The R&A Sustainable Agronomy Service and the USGA Green Section focus on advancing excellence in course management by delivering world-class resources, technology, insight, and global best practices for courses and competitions of every level across the world. That guidance enables courses and superintendents to evolve, adapt and steward each course to its optimal potential, implementing modern agronomic strategies while preserving the distinct character of each course and delivering championship-caliber playing environments.
