The LIV Golf Tour To Play Regular Season Finale In Westfield In 2025
WESTFIELD, Ind. — The LIV Golf Tour is planning to contest its regular-season finale at a championship course in Westfield in 2025.
The tour has announced that Chatham Hills will be the host course for its individual season championship from August 15th to August 17th of next year.
"Some [players] will be gunning for the title, others will be fighting to stay out of the drop zone, and everyone will be hoping for a top 24 spot to guarantee their place for 2026," LIV Golf said in a news release on its website . "Chatham Hills' renowned Championship course, the final design by legendary architect Pete Dye, is the perfect place to settle it."
The tournament in central Indiana is expected to draw over 50,000 fans during the three-day event. The city of Westfield will be forking over $500,000 in taxpayer money to bring the tour to Chatham Hills. $250,000 of that money will go directly to the golf league, the other $250,000 will go towards providing services to host the event. Willis believes this will easily be recouped.
"When you look at the financial impact this will have on our community, you're looking at anywhere from $21 million to $30 million in revenue generated from hosting the golf tournament," Willis said.
It will likely feature several big-name players such as US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, Masters champion Dustin Johnson, and former Champion Golfer of the Year (British Open winner) Cameron Smith.
Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Bubba Watson, and Charl Schwartzel are other contenders who will likely be taking part in the event. Jon Rahm won the individual championship for LIV Golf in 2024 and he too will be among those likely to compete.
The Club at Chatham Hills course was architecturally designed by Pete Dye. It was the last one that Dye designed and constructed on-site. He passed away in 2020.
LIV is an alternative golf tour that up until this year has rivaled that of the PGA Tour. LIV has controversial origins having been started with funds from Saudi Arabian leaders. Many criticized the tour's beginnings due to several claims of human rights violations by the Saudi government.
