After getting under way in London followed by a four-tournament run in the USA, the LIV Golf Series makes its Asian debut at Stonehill - a new course in Bangkok in Pathum Thani province.
However, while the surroundings will be entirely different to the last outing at Chicago's Rich Harvest Farms, the field will have a distinctly familiar look to it, with only one change among the 48 players. Spaniard David Puig misses out this time, with Japanese player Hideto Tanihara replacing him.

Once again, the field features four former World No.1s, including Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson, while there are 12 Major champions. As well as Koepka and Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Cameron Smith and Bryson DeChambeau are among them. They will once again be joined by other high-profile players who've recently signed-up to the Saudi-backed organisation, including Marc Leishman, Joaquin Niemann and Harold Varner III.
In only his second tournament, Smith took the individual honours in Chicago, while Johnson's 4 Aces GC claimed their fourth successive victory, and as the Series makes its Asian debut, they'll be among the favourites to repeat those feats. Whoever wins the tournament, though, LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman is convinced that it marks another step along the road to the organisation gaining a rock-solid foothold in the game.
He said: “The LIV Golf Invitational Bangkok marks a significant step for LIV Golf in Asia, a massive market with incredible passion for the sport. Our investment in the Asian Tour with The International Series has already begun to create new opportunities in golf. This tournament in Thailand is further proof of LIV Golf’s commitment to showcasing top competition amongst the best golfers on the planet while connecting with new audiences around the world. Excitement continues to build with each event, and we can’t wait to deliver a memorable tournament at Stonehill, a one-of-a-kind venue.”
