The International Series returns to Morocco at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam this week with a compelling storyline at its core: the reunion of all three champions as the event stages its fourth edition.
Alongside defending champion Scott Vincent, former winners Ben Campbell (2024) and Jazz Janewattananond (2022) are both back in Rabat, adding further depth and narrative weight to one of the standout stops on The International Series calendar.
For New Zealand’s Campbell, the return carries added significance. It was his strong performance in Morocco in 2024 that first brought him onto the radar of LIV Golf’s RangeGoats GC, led by captain Bubba Watson, eventually paving the way to his place on the LIV Golf stage.
This year, Campbell gets the chance to compete alongside his captain in that very field.
“Bubba has asked me about the course and the event a few times before we arrived,” said Campbell. “It’s great to have him here this week, not only for the tournament, but for Moroccan golf and The International Series in general.
“That’s one of the really cool things about The International Series and LIV Golf, getting more LIV players involved in these events. The more those guys come out and play, the more everyone benefits from the experience and exposure.
“I’m sure a lot of the players here will learn a lot from playing alongside Bubba, and it’s also great having Sergio here this week and a number of other top players. It’s really exciting for the event overall.”
For Thailand’s Jazz, Morocco holds particularly special memories as the venue of his first and only International Series victory to date. He returns this year buoyed by a return to form, including a strong showing at the Singapore leg of the Series in April.
“It feels great,” said Jazz. “Coming back to a venue where you’ve won before is always special. It’s a really good tournament, honestly one of the best set-up events of the year, and I’d say this is one of my top three golf courses on The International Series schedule. It’s always nice to come back here and play.”
Reflecting on his recent performances, he added: “Singapore was a really good confidence boost. It could have gone my way, and of course it could have been a little better, but overall it showed me that my level is getting better and better again. I just need to keep doing the right things and hopefully I can get over the line soon.”
With one of the strongest fields of the season assembled in Morocco, Jazz also believes the depth of talent allows him to play with freedom rather than pressure.
“There are so many great players here that you’re not thinking, ‘I absolutely need to win this week,’” he said. “For me, it’s more about coming here, playing good golf, and hopefully playing well enough to improve my ranking and build momentum again.”
