INTERNATIONAL SERIES ENGLAND ATTRACTS 23 LIV GOLF STARS

Representing nearly half of the LIV Golf roster, 23 of the league’s stars have signed up to compete at the International Series England alongside the best of the Asian Tour on August 17-20, at Close House.
 
Headlined by former World No. 1 Lee Westwood alongside fellow former Ryder Cup players Ian Poulter, Graeme McDowell and Patrick Reed – the quartet will be accompanied by representatives from 11 of the 12 teams that make up the LIV Golf League. 
 
Featuring golfers from 32 nations across six continents, the diverse 156-strong field also welcomes Andy Ogletree, the current leader of both the Asian Tour and International Series Orders of Merit.

The American captured his second International Series victory in February at Doha Golf Club and leads the series from close rivals Takumi Kanaya from Japan and Zimbabwean Kieran Vincent. Both players have won International Series events in 2023, with Vincent seeking to follow in the footsteps of his big brother Scott.

The 31-year-old Scott won the inaugural International Series England in 2022 en route to capturing the number one spot in The International Series Order of Merit, earning him a berth in the LIV Golf League.
 
Rahul Singh, Head of The International Series, said: “Having such a strong field for this event is a testament to the growing strength of The International Series and the allure of the Lee Westwood Colt Course at Close House.” 
 
Representing 10 premier Asian Tour events, The International Series is characterised by its expanded entry criteria enabling players from all tours to tee it up at iconic global golf courses. The elite fields compete for enhanced purses with US$19 million in prize-money allocated for the 2023 schedule.
