Tom McKibbin, the 22-year-old rising golf star from Northern Ireland, has secured his place in the 2026 Masters and British Open with a dominant win at the Asian Tour’s Link Hong Kong Open.
McKibbin, formerly a protégé of Rory McIlroy, showcased his talent with a record-breaking performance, finishing seven strokes ahead of his nearest rival. This win marks his second professional victory, following his success at the DP World Tour’s Porsche European Open in 2023.
