KEY STORYLINES

The LIV Golf League makes its first appearance in Singapore at the world-class Sentosa Golf Club after a sold-out week at LIV Golf Adelaide in Australia.

LIV Golf Singapore set to become the most prestigious and lucrative golf event to be held in the country.

17 LIV Golf League members have competed in professional tournaments at Sentosa Golf Club, including past Singapore Open champions Ian Poulter (2009) and Sergio Garcia (2018).

Six-time major champion and World Golf Hall of Fame member Phil Mickelson is playing at Sentosa for the seventh time in his career. The HyFlyers GC captain last played here in 2012.

Ripper GC Captain Cameron Smith and 4Aces GC’s Patrick Reed have competed in professional events in Singapore but are making their first appearances at Sentosa.

Korean-born players Kevin Na, Danny Lee and Sihwan Kim of Iron Heads GC should receive plenty of support from the Asian galleries.

RangeGoats GCs Talor Gooch became the fourth different individual winner this season with his victory in Adelaide that included consecutive rounds of 10-under 62 in his first two days.

4Aces GC, the defending Team Champions, won in Adelaide for the first time in 2023 by one stroke over Gooch’s RangeGoats GC. It was the 4Aces’ first win outside the U.S.

Majesticks GC co-captain Lee Westwood makes his first start since turning 50 years old on Monday to join Phil Mickelson (52) and Richard Bland (50) in the three most-experienced LIV members.

4Aces GC member Peter Uihlein leads the individual standings as the only player with top-10 points finishes in the first four events. Uihlein finished third in the individual champion race during the inaugural 2022 LIV Golf Invitational Series.

4Aces GC extended its lead in the team point standings after winning in Adelaide.
