LIV Golf announces return to Hong Kong in 2026

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.”

Fans can look forward to seeing returning stars, including the defending champion Garcia, along with Jon Rahm (Legion XIII), Bryson DeChambeau (Crushers GC), Kevin Na (IronHeads GC), Joaquin Niemann (Torque GC), Cam Smith (Ripper GC), and Phil Mickelson (HyFlyers GC), among many others.

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.

Hong Kong Golf Club, one of Asia’s oldest and most revered golfing venues, provides a picturesque and challenging stage. The 2026 event will feature LIV Golf’s signature fan village, live music performances, interactive experiences, and enhanced viewing platforms creating a high-energy weekend for golf enthusiasts and new audiences alike.
