LIV Golf strikes deal with major ticketing partner experienced with Barcelona and Real Madrid

As the 2025 season gradually comes to an end, LIV Golf has made a major partnership move ahead of the 2026 season. The Saudi-backed league has signed a deal with Fever, which will become its first official ticketing partner.

Fever’s partnership with LIV Golf won’t be its first sports-related business venture. The live entertainment ticketing platform has also partnered with popular sports organizations such as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and the X Games.

As confirmed by LIV, Fever’s operations span over 40 countries worldwide. It delivers a unique ticketing experience for sports events, festivals, and exhibitions, to over 200 million people monthly.

LIV Golf’s multiyear partnership with Fever will see the ticketing platform manage the league’s ticketing operations in a bid to drive demand through its innovative platform. Sergio Garcia's Fireballs GC teammates will also wear the Fever logo on their right sleeves going forward.

When speaking on the newest partnership, Garcia said,

“Fireballs GC is proud to partner with an organization like Fever that shares our passion for bringing fans and people together through sport and world-class events.”

Similarly, LIV Golf’s President of Business Operations Chris Heck, expressed pleasure with the partnership. He noted that partnering with Fever gives the PIF-funded league the platform it needs to connect with audiences worldwide while making the game “more accessible and entertaining.”

This year has been a big one for LIV Golf on sponsorship and partnership front. The league signed major deals earlier in the year with top business organizations and service providers such as HSBC, Salesforce, Ping, MGM Resorts International, and more.
