The Indonesian Masters, which returns this year with an overall purse of $1.5 million will be held at the traditional home Royale Jakarta Golf Club from December 1-4. In the process, the event is set to become the country’s most profitable sporting event. It will now be a part of the controversial LIV Golf.

The famous championship, which was halted for two years due to the Covid 19 pandemic, will also be included in the Asian Tour`s revolutionary new International Series. It will be held as one of the year-end events that will conclude the 2022 season, in its tenth year.

The International Series first came into existence earlier in 2022 thanks to a revolutionary collaboration between the Asia Tour and the Saudi-backed league. The main focus of it has always been to change the game’s fortunes in the Middle East and Asia.

“LIV Golf remains committed to strengthening the golf ecosystem and growing the game globally,” said LIV Series CEO and Commissioner Greg Norman. “The Indonesian Masters is another showcase addition to The International Series which is creating player pathways for tremendous talent all around the world. LIV Golf is proud to support another marquee tournament for our great sport.”
