It’s here after nearly 3 weeks of rest. LIV Golf is back! This time at the Hong Kong Golf Club at Fanling, Hong Kong. The third event of the tour is highly anticipated, with defending champion Abraham Ancer returning with a fresh wound in his mind.

The Mexican golfer was leading the LIV Golf Adelaide event until the later stages of the last day, before a massive mistake allowed Joaquin Niemann to claim the victory. Ancer will be back in familiar territory and will be looking to right the wrongs that happened in Australia. The event slated to start on March 9 will be huge for LIV Golf and its fans, as many of the big names will be using it to prepare for the upcoming major, the Masters Tournament.
