LIV Golf stars Garcia and Reed set for International Series Macau presented by Wynn

Macau, China - Fireballs GC captain Sergio Garcia and 4Aces GC member Patrick Reed are the latest big names confirmed for International Series Macau presented by Wynn, the elevated Asian Tour tournament that has been named as a qualifying pathway event for The Open this year.

The 2017 and 2018 Masters champions, respectively, will be part of a stellar field at Macau Golf and Country Club from March 20-23 that includes defending champion John Catlin, a LIV Golf reserve player, who shot a historic 59 on his way to a thrilling playoff victory at the same venue last year.

Garcia will bring his entire Fireballs GC team for the second of 10 elevated events on the Asian Tour calendar. Mexican Abraham Ancer, the LIV Golf Hong Kong 2024 champion, Spaniard David Puig, who lost in the playoff to Catlin last year, and new member Luis Masaveu will all compete in Macau.

All four Fireballs GC players have shown good form already this season, securing the team title at the recent LIV Golf Adelaide by an emphatic six strokes.

Hong Kong native Taichi Kho, the 2023 World City Championship winner, is also confirmed as part of a truly international field, with further big names to be revealed soon.

Garcia had an impressive 2024, recording his maiden win on the LIV Golf League at LIV Golf Andalucia, having lost in two playoffs – Mayakoba and Miami - earlier in the season.

The Ryder Cup legend finished third on the league’s overall Individual standings, behind Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm and Torque GC captain Joaquin Niemann.

Reed, who won the famous green jacket at Augusta a year after Garcia in 2018 and lined up against the Spaniard three times in the Ryder Cup, also had an impressive 2024.

The American stormed to a runaway victory at the Link Hong Kong Open on The International Series, posting an 11-under 59 in Round 3 at the Hong Kong Golf Club.

International Series Macau presented by Wynn was recently named as a tournament on The Open Qualifying Series for 2025, with the top three finishers set to earn a coveted spot in the field for this year’s fourth major.

Rahul Singh, Head of The International Series, said: “Welcoming a field of this calibre, featuring major champions, LIV Golf stars, and rising talent, takes International Series Macau presented by Wynn to another level.

“The presence of globally recognised players alongside proven winners from The International Series and Asian Tour adds incredible depth to the competition, making this a must-watch event. With so much at stake, including three places in the field for The Open, we’re set for an electrifying week of world-class golf.”
