The controversial LIV Golf tournament will move to Bangkok to kickstart its Asian leg of the tour. The series will take place between October 7 and 9 at the new private club, Stone-Hill Golf Club.
This will mark the league's first event in October after the Chicago edition ended last month and will feature a much tougher field and stronger teams. The purse this time around is a whopping $25 million.
Cameron Smith claimed the $4 million pay cheque after bagging the Chicago competition. So far, Dustin Johnson has been leading the scoreboard with 118 points and has maintained a 39-point margin over Branden Grace, who is second as of now.
Johnson's team 4 Aces, which also includes Pat Perez, Patrick Reed, and Talor Gooch, hold the top spot in the team's leaderboard.
48 players have confirmed their appearances in Bangkok. The likes of Sergio Garcia, Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, and Martin Kaymer amongst others will be seen in action.
Along with them, Thai golfing stars like Sadom Kaewkanjana and Phachara Khongwatmai will be playing on their home soil.
