30+ LIV Golfers Set For Hong Kong Open With Masters And Open Spots On The Line

It’s another big week on the Asian Tour and The International Series with a stacked field once again assembled for the Hong Kong Open.

The historic championship dates back to 1959 and has been won by the likes of Peter Thomson, Greg Norman, Ian Woosnam, Bernhard Langer, Tom Watson, Jose Maria Olazabal, Colin Montgomerie, Padraig Harrington, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose.

For the first time, this year’s Hong Kong Open champion will earn a spot in The Masters, as well as The Open, so there is a lot to play for as well as the International Series Rankings that award a LIV Golf card to the year-end leader.

A number of LIV players who featured at last week’s International Series Philippines have made the trip to Hong Kong, as well as plenty of others and the relegated Anthony Kim – who missed the cut last time out.

Bubba Watson was also due to play but recently withdrew due to a finger injury which required surgery.
