The International Series breaks new ground, confirms historic first date in Japan

Chiba, Japan - The International Series continues its globe-trotting 2025 schedule with the announcement of International Series Japan, adding another exciting destination to its dynamic lineup of new territories and established golf markets.

The US$2million tournament marks LIV Golf’s debut in Japan via The International Series and is scheduled to take place from May 8-11 at the Caledonian Golf Club in Chiba, the week after the LIV Golf League holds LIV Golf Korea in Incheon.

A 156-man field will comprise a strong Asian Tour contingent, Japanese players and golfers from around the world trying to earn a lucrative place on the LIV Golf League next season, as well as established names from LIV Golf, demonstrating the significance of Japan as a destination in the global golf landscape.

4Aces GC member Harold Varner III is one of the LIV Golf stars already confirmed for Caledonian Golf Club.

The 2023 LIV Golf Washington D.C. champion and winner of the 2022 PIF Saudi International said: “The International Series offers great opportunities to LIV golfers to compete in some incredible golf destinations beyond LIV Golf League events. Japan is a place I’ve always wanted to visit, so I’m excited for the opportunity and can’t wait to tee it up.”

Lucas Herbert, the Ripper GC star who finished third in last season’s International Series Macau presented by Wynn said: “As an Australian, I love playing events in Asia, and The International Series provides a lot of opportunity to play in different territories in the region. Japan is going to be incredible and I’m looking forward to the experience both on and off the course.”

International Series Japan will be the third of 10 LIV Golf-backed events on the 2025 Asian Tour calendar, and all three of the opening Series events emphasise the important space that The International Series has created on the international golf scene, as it takes the game to the next level in different territories.

The brand-new International Series India presented by DLF kicked off the fourth season of The International Series from Jan. 30-Feb. 2 with record crowds attending DLF Golf and Country Club.

The high-profile event brought a diverse audience, ranging from golf fans to families, to experience four days of world-class golf with some of the biggest names in the game, and top-class entertainment off the course.
