LIV Golf has recently released “New Grounds: The Making of The Duels,” its behind-the-scenes documentary of the production behind The Duels: Miami. Produced by Summit House, “New Grounds” features extended content and never-before-seen shots and competitor interaction.

“The Duels are important for that younger generation of players coming up and people getting into the game. We’re excited about it,” said Sergio Garcia, Captain, Fireballs GC.

"We are so excited to be hosting The Duels Virginia," said George Bryan of the Bryan Brothers. "The energy and vibe from the Miami event was electric and you can obviously tell by the response that the people want more. We can't wait to deliver."

"The Duels in Miami was just an insanely positive response, we knew we needed to make more of these," said Grant Horvat. "With different hosts and different formats, we're really looking to shake things up and I think it's going to continue to get really interesting."

“YouTube golf has become one of the most powerful forces in growing the game; these extraordinary content creators are leading a movement that's inspiring the next generation of golfers and golf fans around the world…and reshaping how we all connect with the game of golf,” Adam Harter, Chief Marketing Officer of LIV Golf.

LIV Golf and Summit House, a leading agency ecosystem, will once again partner in the strategy, production, and distribution of The Duels. For each Duels event, the hosting golf content creator plays a critical role in the creative direction, competition format, and final production.

“Summit House is incredibly excited to come together alongside LIV in growing the game of golf by rolling out The Duels,” said Steve Cundari, partner at Summit House. “Never before have pro athletes and creators been paired together in a competitive format like this, and with the success of The Duels: Miami, it’s evident there’s a desire for this type of content.”

To support these star-studded casts of creators and LIV Golfers, a rotation of golf creators and social media personalities - including BustaJack Golf’s Mason Nutt, comedian and “No Bad Lies” Podcast Host Andrew Santino, and more - will attend, engage, and provide fans with minute-by-minute analysis of the action.

Currently, The Duels are not ticketed events for fan attendance; however, single day and multi-day grounds passes and premium hospitality offerings for the remaining LIV Golf events in the 2025 Season are available here.
