There are plenty of changes on LIV as the golf league will begin its fourth season Thursday. One change, however, is quite a surprise. According to LIV's newest on-course analyst, Pat Perez, LIV golfers will no longer be allowed to wear shorts on the course.

According to LIV Golfer-turned LIV on-course analyst Pat Perez, the LIV tour is planning to take itself more seriously in 2025, too. That is, if you believe that everyone wearing pants as opposed tyo showing off the calves makes your tour a serious one:

It’s Year 4 for LIV Golf and the league is back with 54 players playing 14 events around the world. Up first, the season-opener at Riyadh Golf Club in Saudi Arabia where the 54-hole event is being played under the lights.

Season four of LIV Golf is upon us and there are big changes afoot in the Saudi-backed league. Greg Norman is out, Fox Sports is in, U.S. Open exemptions have arrived and shorts have gone the way of Ol' Yeller.

The US Open will become the first major to offer exemptions to LIV Golf players, introducing new qualification criteria for them to compete in the championship, the USGA announced on Wednesday.

Starting with the 2026 U.S. Open, the USGA will take the leading player in the final 2025 individual standings, along with the leading player from the May 18, 2026, list.
