Inside Valderrama's LIV Golf switch including merger clause and seven-year commitment

There are not many more iconic golf courses in Europe than the famed Real Club Valderrama, but after a near 30-year long stay on the DP World Tour schedule, its relationship with the European circuit is no more.

Instead Valderrama opted to link up with LIV Golf, and despite controversy surrounding the breakaway league, the club are more than looking forward to hosting their first edition of LIV Andalucia. The LIV switch will have been a dagger through the heart of golf's traditionalists, but the iconic Spanish club are happy to embrace change.

One key man behind the decision was Valderrama's general manager and chief executive Javier Reviriego, and in an exclusive chat with Mirror Sport, he detailed just how the new deal with the LIV setup came around.
