LIV Golf has scheduled an event for Super Bowl week in Las Vegas, but has no current plans to play on any of Donald Trump's courses, according to a schedule released Wednesday.
The Saudi-funded golf league looks to compete with both the NFL and PGA Tour while leaving out the ex-President's courses despite him hosting two of their events in 2023.
LIV announced the venues for 12 of their 14 tournaments next year. The setting for the final regular season event, which was held at Trump Doral in Florida last year, is yet to be determined.
LIV held events at Trump Bedminster in New Jersey in the last two years. LIV also held a tournament at Trump National right outside Washington DC in 2023. Surprisingly, none of the three courses was selected for the upcoming tournaments.
The league, however, booked an event in Las Vegas on the same week as the Super Bowl. LIV also scheduled three events that share weeks with the PGA Tour's $20million tournaments.

LIV's second season will start on February 2-4 at Mayakoba on the Gulf Coast of Mexico.
From there, LIV will host their first event in Las Vegas from February 8-10, wrapping up the day before Super Bowl Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. The PGA Tour's Phoenix Open, which historically stages the largest and loudest crowd in golf, will also mirror LIV from 300 miles away.
LIV will hold their tournament at the Las Vegas Country Club, which hosted PGA events since its founding in 1983 until 1991. The venue last hosted an LPGA tour in 2006.
LIV announced oversees tournaments with hosts including Hong Kong, Australia and England
New host clubs for LIV include the Golf Club of Houston (June 7-9) and The Grove outside Nashville, Tennessee (June 21-23). Both tournaments held in these venues will mirror PGA Tour stops with the Houston tournament happening a week before the US Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.
Six tournaments outside North America have been scheduled for LIV's 2024 season with stops in Hong Kong and Australia (April 26-28), Saudi Arabia (May 1-3), Singapore (May 3-5), Spain (July 12-14) and England (July 26-28).
LIV consists of 48 golfers divided into 12 teams. The league is currently going through a period of reshuffling rosters before the tournaments begin.
