When our Golf Titan Martin Kaymer steps up to the tee, we know: things are about to get serious! Excitement? Guaranteed!
Currently, from October 30th to November 2nd, we have the Link Hong Kong Open on our radar at the legendary Hong Kong Golf Club – and we're talking about no ordinary event, but an absolute heavyweight on the Asian Tour. The field? Stacked with serious talent – the drivers are ready to go! Alongside our German two-time Major Champion Kaymer, absolute top players are in the field: South Africans Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel, Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell – and as if that wasn't enough excitement to get the putter hot, we're also adding defending champion Patrick Reed (two Masters titles! Captain America!) and Bubba Watson (also a two-time Masters champ! The man with the pink driver!). These names make a statement! This promises an extraordinary golf spectacle!
But attention, golfers, now comes the absolute game-changer that will knock even the most experienced caddy off their stool: The champion of this battle not only claims the magnificent trophy and eternal glory, but also secures DIRECT entry spots for the 2026 Masters and the 154th Open Championship in their bag! Two of the biggest Majors, a double-header, folks! That is the Holy Grail of the golf world! And all this for just ONE sensational round in the golf mecca of Hong Kong. Especially for Kaymer, whose career fairway in recent years has been rather lined with stubborn rough, this is the golden opportunity. A birdie opportunity? Pff! That's an albatross on a par 5, which you simply MUST sink! He can not only qualify for TWO of the holiest Majors in the golf world, but also once again strongly underpin his claim to a place among the absolute world's best.
The Link Hong Kong Open is not only a seriously strong tournament, but also the heart of the International Series. And this series, dear golfers, has been the golden direct ticket to the LIV Golf League since 2022. Jackpot for the pros, entertainment for us! Just last weekend, there was already quite a commotion on the greens of the International Series Philippines: Local hero Miguel Tabuena carded a sensational round into the clubhouse that was truly impressive! With an incredible 24 under par and a three-shot lead, he clinched the victory. What a statement! In front of a home crowd – that's the best entertainment, folks! Better than any season of "Full Swing"! Tabuena himself spoke of an „incredible honor“ and celebrated his fans – no wonder with such a performance. Japan's Kazuki Higa, who reclaimed the lead in the Asian Tour Order of Merit with a second-place finish, also proved once again that the series is really strong and performing well.
But why all this massive hype around the International Series? It's simple: A brand new rule, golfers, that turns all of professional golf on its head – and that's no pitch shot! From 2026, all
