LIV Golf teams Torque GC and Stinger GC set to tee up at the International Series Oman this week
All the players of the LIV Golf teams Torque GC and Stinger GC will be in action this week at the International Series Oman, the first of the 10 such PIF-funded Asian Tour events.
The International Series in Oman is set to take place at Al Mouj Golf from February 22–25. This will be an opportunity for some of the LIV golf pros to gain some OWGR points, considering they hardly have many such events to earn ranking points.
Torque GC captain Joaquin Niemann and his teammates Sebastian Munoz, Mito Pereira, and Carlos Ortiz will compete at Al Mouj Golf. Niemann has been in good form recently and has won the ISPS Handa Australian Open and the LIV Golf Maykoba in the last few months.
Speaking at the pre-event press conference, Niemann emphasized the importance of the International Series events for LIV professionals.
It will be a lot of help to play good there, get some points, and try to get into the majors," Niemann said as per Golf Monthly. "It will be nice to be playing against each other at Oman for the first tournament, we’re looking forward to it. Hopefully, we get a nice Sunday where we’re going to all play together. It’ll be cool."
Similarly, Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel, Branden Grace, and Dean Burmester of Stinger GC are also teeing off this week. Overall, 21 of the 54 LIV-associated players will be competing at Al Mouj Golf.
