Smash GC’s McDowell leads LIV Golf lineup heading to International Series Macau presented by Wynn

Macau, China - The field for International Series Macau presented by Wynn has been further strengthened with 2010 U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell confirmed for the tournament along with a host of LIV Golf League stablemates.

The former Ryder Cup star will be joined by his Smash GC teammate Jason Kokrak of America, as well as Indian star Anirban Lahiri, the Crushers GC player and seven-time winner on the Asian Tour, for the second of 10 elevated events on the schedule which takes place at Macau Golf and Country Club from March 20-23.

The event has been named as part of The Open Qualifying Series, with the top three finishers securing a prized place in the field for this year’s fourth major at Royal Portrush. That news has enticed a number of up-and-coming youngsters from LIV Golf, with Legion XIII member Caleb Surratt in the field alongside Frederik Kjettrup, the Dane who signed with Cleeks GC after winning three times in his first season as a pro on the PGA Tour Americas.

Range Goats GC's Peter Uihlein, who won twice on The International Series last season in England and Qatar, is also in the field along with Ripper GC's Lucas Herbert, who finished third in Macau last year, and his Ripper teammate Matt Jones.

LIV Golf Wild Card player Anthony Kim, the former Ryder Cup star, has also entered alongside Sam Horsfield of Majesticks GC, Branden Grace of Stinger GC and Torque GC’s Sebastian Munoz, further strengthening a field that already features two Major champions in Fireballs GC captain Sergio Garcia and Patrick Reed of 4Aces GC. Defending champion John Catlin, a LIV Golf reserve player, further strengthens the field.

Rahul Singh, Head of The International Series said: “With this year’s edition of International Series Macau presented by Wynn being confirmed as a Qualifying Event for The Open, we have taken things to the next level. The addition of this world-class talent demonstrates the appeal of our series, and the opportunity that it is offering to players.

“The International Series continues to offer a world-class stage for top players to compete at the highest level, and the presence of so many LIV golfers, and its status as a qualifier for The Open, highlights the growing significance of these tournaments.”
