LIV Golf continues to look at ways to expand its schedule as the league grows its global footprint.

Players have been asked where they would like to see future events held, and two of the tour’s biggest names are in agreement over one key addition.

Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton both believe Ireland should be firmly on LIV Golf’s radar.

Rahm was asked where LIV Golf should head next, and he pointed to Ireland as a clear option.

“I’d say Ireland, but if we’re going somewhere we haven’t played golf before, I’d say at some point we should go to South America.”

Hatton shared a similar view, highlighting Ireland as a location he would love to see added to the calendar.

“Where LIV hasn’t been, but I have been… I’d love there to be a LIV event in Ireland.”

The idea was also backed by Tom McKibbin, who suggested Ireland could host a strong event, while also mentioning Japan as another appealing destination.

With multiple players aligned, Ireland is quickly emerging as a popular choice for a future LIV Golf stop.

Jon Rahm also suggests LIV Golf expansion into South America

While Rahm backed Ireland, he also pointed to the potential for LIV Golf to break new ground in South America.

“There’s never been a LIV Golf event there and having someone like Joaquin [Niemann] in the league, we could do good events in Chile, Argentina, or Brazil.”

The presence of Niemann gives LIV a natural connection to the region, and Rahm believes that could help the tour grow its audience further.

It highlights the balance LIV Golf faces between visiting established golf markets like Ireland and exploring new territories.

As the schedule continues to evolve, player input is clearly playing a role, and Ireland now looks like a strong candidate to host a future event.
