The Asian Tour has taken itself back to Macao, China, for the second stop in the International Series after the inaugural event of the series concluded in Oman. This year is the International Series’ third edition and second year, where the top player on the Merit Order List at the season end will get a membership card for LIV Golf. Along with that, there is substantial prize money at stake from a total purse of $2 million.
The seven events series will move to various countries in the Asian peninsula, and only one event (International Series England) will be held in Surrey, Longhcross Course. The prize money for all the series events has been kept the same, which accounts for $14 million from the overall prize pool of the Asian Tour.

The last player in the 65th position will be taking home a check for $5,400. Comparatively, it has a lower prize purse than the PGA Tour event (THE PLAYERS Championship; $25 million) that’s taking place on the same schedule.
The event will have a 156-player field. A cut is made after 36 holes to the top 65 players and ties for the final two rounds of the tournament. All players who finish four rounds of the tournament will earn money.
The field at the Macau Golf and Country Club was a desired destination for LIV Golf pros. In the ongoing competition, it seems that not a single LIV player can stop this one Asian Tour pro from taking the lead.

The field of the top LIV pros has been getting outshined by John Catlin, who has come on the Asian Tour after getting his Tour card through Q-School, though he is a 4-time Asian Tour winner. The 30-year-old also made a historical record at the Asian Tour by becoming the only golfer ever to hit a round of 13 under 59 in round three. Catlin shot a bogey-free round three while carding nine birdies and an eagle on the 18th hole to lead the field.
In second place is LIV Golf Pro Jason Kokrak, followed by Lucas Herbert in third. The 144 players’ field, now cut to the top 65 and ties, has been filled with many LIV Golf players like Patrick Reed, David Puig, Sergio Garcia, Carlos Ortiz, and many more.
