The 2025 season calendar for The International Series is now complete after International Series Cambodia presented by Royal Group was unveiled last week.
All 10 events have now been finalised, with five presenting partners – four of which are new, five groundbreaking inaugural tournaments and a new title sponsor highlighting the growing attraction of the brand.
Launched in March 2022 as a LIV Golf-backed series of elevated events on the Asian Tour, the series got underway at International Series Thailand at Black Mountain Golf Club, Thailand.
Since its inaugural tournament, the series has visited 14 countries including destinations in the Middle East, North Africa and the United Kingdom, firmly establishing The International Series as a global brand, while providing the best playing opportunities to elite golfers as well as the best local and regional talent.
Fast forward to May 2025. The series continues to expand, with four new markets this season, in India, Japan, Cambodia and the Philippines.
The addition of a legacy event in the Asian golfing heartland of Singapore further strengthens a robust calendar which also features welcome returns to Macau, Morocco, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia.
The growing appeal of the brand is evident by the addition of strong commercial partnerships supporting each of the new events.
Giant real estate company DLF was presenting partner of International Series India; Chinese beverage maker Moutai is confirmed for this week’s International Series Japan; Cambodian conglomerate Royal Group will present International Series Cambodia, and e-gaming giant Bingo Plus will drive International Series Philippines.
Earlier this year saw the second edition of International Series Macau presented by Wynn, further evidence of the brand’s appeal.
Moutai has also been named as title sponsor of the storied Singapore Open, a legacy event in the region which returns to the Asian Tour calendar after a hiatus of three years.
Rahul Singh, Head of The International Series, said: “The International Series is making a real impact on the industry and contributing to an unheralded new era for the sport, transforming the golf landscape for everyone, from global superstars to regional talent and prodigious amateurs.
“Driven by our unique offering, we have made significant commercial strides particularly in 2025, welcoming numerous new partners, cementing the allure of The International Series as one of the most attractive opportunities in men’s professional golf.”
The impact of The International Series is not just commercial. A number of players from the Asian Tour have taken the pathway to the LIV Golf League in the past four years, while the appearance of superstars such as Bryson DeChambeau, Joaquin Niemann and Patrick Reed on the series has further elevated the offering.
LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil said: “LIV Golf is committed to creating more player pathways throughout professional golf, and The International Series continues to play a huge role in the sport’s global growth.
“The Series is bringing many of golf’s biggest names to new markets while opening opportunities for the stars of tomorrow to compete with the very best, and we couldn’t be more excited for its future.”
This season, the series also offered players a golden opportunity to compete in the Majors, with the top three from International Series Macau presented by Wynn securing places at The Open in Royal Portrush in July, after the tournament was named as an Open Qualifying Series event for the first time.
Macau champion Carlos Ortiz from Mexico booked a place along with former Masters champion Patrick Reed from the United Sates and countryman and fellow LIV Golf player Jason Kokrak.
Singh emphasised the growing importance of The International Series, saying: “The International Series has always been about opportunity – offering players that pathway onto the LIV Golf League and providing emerging talent from around the world with a chance to compete against the very best, at elevated events on world-class golfing destinations.
“The addition of Open Qualifying this season has taken things to another level for The International Series, emphasising our growing commercial appeal and strong positioning on the international golf scene.”
The 2025 schedule continues this week at International Series Japan presented by Moutai in Chiba with a strong mix of LIV Golf stars, Asian Tour players and local talent from Japan.
The International Series is the most prized pathway in golf. It consists of 10 elite tournaments sanctioned by the Asian Tour and offers the year-long Rankings leader promotion to the LIV Golf League
