At the conclusion of the 13th and final regular tournament, the standings determine the seeding for the season-ending team championship. The top four teams receive a first-round bye in the multiple-day event that determines the overall winner. In the individual standings, the player with the most points at the end of the season is named the individual champion. The individual standings are broken down into three categories, with final positions potentially impacting a player’s status in the league: Lock Zone: Players finishing in the top 24 secure their spot in the LIV Golf League for next season. Open Zone: Players finishing 25th to 44th face potential trade or release by their team. Drop Zone: Players finishing 45th and lower are relegated from the league but automatically qualify for the promotions tournament and the chance to earn their spot back for next season.
