Hong Kong SAR (Wednesday, 17 September 2025) – LIV Golf, the global golf league energizing the sport through team competition and innovative fan experiences, has announced it will return to Hong Kong Golf Club from 6-8 March 2026 for the third edition of its Hong Kong event, now elevated by a landmark title partnership with HSBC.

This agreement makes HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong the first title-sponsored tournament in league history, marking a significant milestone since LIV Golf launched as the Invitational Series in 2022 and transitioned to a full-season League in 2023. This exclusive event sponsorship is part of the global, multi-year partnership that the brands announced earlier this year, when HSBC became LIV Golf’s first global banking and financial organisation partner.

The HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong 2026 tournament will once again bring 54 of the league’s international stars to compete in simultaneous individual and team competition at Hong Kong Golf Club’s historic Fanling course, across three days of fan-fuelled action, fast-paced competition, live entertainment, and vibrant fan experiences in one of Asia’s most iconic cities.

The waitlist is now open for hospitality packages and grounds passes for the HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong on LIVGolf.com. Fans in Hong Kong will enjoy a festival of world-class golf, live music, and family-friendly experiences at the event, and can follow every moment of the event and the LIV Golf 2026 season broadcast live on AXN Sports.

HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong reaffirms the league’s established presence in Asia and builds on the success of previous events in Hong Kong in 2024 and 2025, which drew widespread attention and attendance from fans across the Greater Bay Area. The 2026 tournament in Hong Kong (6-8 March), joins the lineup of confirmed global destinations for next year, including Riyadh (6-8 February), Adelaide (13-15 February), Singapore (13-15 March), South Africa (20-22 March), Mexico City (17-19 April), Virginia (8-10 May), Andalucia (5-7 June), Louisiana (26-28 June), the United Kingdom (24-26 July), and Indianapolis (20-23 August).

The 2025 edition of the LIV Golf Hong Kong tournament saw a commanding performance from Fireballs GC, as Sergio Garcia captured the individual title and led his team to the top of the podium in the team competition. The win followed Abraham Ancer’s triumph in 2024, making it back-to-back individual victories in Hong Kong for Fireballs players and cementing the team’s dominance at Fanling.

LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil said, “Hong Kong welcomed LIV Golf with extraordinary enthusiasm from the very beginning, and we are proud to return to this special city and course to deliver another unforgettable experience and week for fans, players, and partners. Partnering with HSBC elevates this marquee event to new levels and highlights our shared values of innovation, accessibility, and global impact. Once again, Hong Kong Golf Club will provide a world-class stage for our elite players and teams to compete, and the opportunity for LIV Golf and HSBC to drive meaningful impact together.” 

Hong Kong Golf Club Captain Andy Kwok said, “The first two editions (2024 and 2025) of LIV Golf Hong Kong, which were awarded with ‘M’ Mark status, were incredibly successful with record numbers of fans travelling to the city from the Greater Bay Area and far beyond. We look forward to welcoming back the world’s best players for first-class golf and entertainment.”

“As the oldest golf club in China, we are delighted to be playing a role in bringing LIV Golf and the excitement that means to the region, developing the game and putting Hong Kong firmly on the global sporting map. But not only that. LIV Golf’s community-focused endeavours – their commitment to giving back to society, to make a difference at every venue they visit – is just as important and something we are thrilled to work together on. We have agreed on a longer-term partnership with LIV Golf League to host the event for at least two years in Hong Kong in 2026 and 2027.”

Barry O’Byrne, HSBC’s CEO of International Wealth and Premier Banking, said: “We are thrilled to be the title sponsor of this ground-breaking tournament, which is rapidly building a passionate fan base and expanding the sport’s appeal. For 160 years, HSBC has been connecting Hong Kong to the world, and the world to Hong Kong, and we bring this same philosophy to our sponsorships. The LIV Golf multi-year partnership not only reflects our commitment to advancing Hong Kong’s presence on the global stage but also enables us to create exclusive experiences for our clients.”

As part of HSBC and LIV Golf’s shared commitment to growing the game of golf and making it more accessible, HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong will feature several activations throughout event week that engage the local community. Additionally, in the coming months, a special presale will be available to HSBC customers worldwide.
