LIV Golf‘s first event in Asia took place in Bangkok, Thailand, four months after its debut in the United States. The new Stone-Hill Golf Club is hosting the Championship between October 7 to 9.

After the Chicago edition that concluded last month, this will be the Saudi-backed league’s first event this month. The competition is much stronger and tougher this time around with $25 million prize money up for grabs.

The controversial league which is led by none other than former PGA Tour champion Greg Norman and backed by Saudi money has 48 golfers taking part in the competition.

The LIV Golf CEO Norman has now taken to social media and thanked Thailand for all the love and support they have given to the ongoing event in Bangkok.

“Winning then & now. Great to be here as a winner at the Johnnie Walker Classic in 1994 & at the forefront of golf diplomacy & innovation now with @LIVGolfInv. Thank you, Thailand for supporting golf over the decades,” Norman tweeted on Saturday.

Winner of the 1994 Johnnie Walker Classic in Phuket, Thailand, the 67-year-old discussed the possibility of bringing back the Hong Kong Open and expanding the influence of LIV Golf.

“We haven’t finished our schedule for 2023 yet, but yes, we are working with the Asian Tour very closely with what we are doing with the International Series,” he told reporters.

“We are expanding the International Series from where we are today, which is an eight-event series, and will grow that number out. What that number is gonna be we’re not too sure yet, we’re just running our logistics on that.”

“When I go to different places around the world, like for example Vietnam, they want LIV, but they also want the International Series, so we need to figure out how we give them both. But what a great position to be in for the game of golf.”
