The BNI Indonesian Masters is underway at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club, marking the seventh International Series event on the Asian Tour calendar. Thanks to LIV Golf’s partnership with the Asian Tour, several golfers from the 54-hole circuit are competing in the $2 million tournament.

At $2 million—half the prize of regular LIV Golf tournaments for individual champions—this purse is one of the largest on the Asian Tour. Indian golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar took home $270,000 for his wire-to-wire victory last year, finishing at 24-under. This year, the champion will earn $360,000. Check out the full purse breakdown here.

In addition to the hefty paycheck, world-ranking points are also up for grabs. Notably, the Asian Tour event boasts the highest field rating this week at 47.24—nearly four times that of the Queensland PGA Championship (12.248). The winner of the BNI Indonesian Masters will receive 8.125 world-ranking points, one of the key reasons this Asian Tour event has attracted numerous LIV Golf pros.

Why are LIV Golfers teeing up at the BNI Indonesian Masters?

Short answer: world ranking points. Long answer: world ranking points and growing the game. The biggest name is arguably the former Masters winner Bubba Watson. The LIV Golfer is teeing up for the first time in Indonesia. It is his first International Series event too. But it’s not his maiden outing on the Asian Tour. 

In 2012, Bubba Watson, then the reigning Masters champion, was a runner-up at the Thailand Golf Championship. Interestingly, a number of his current LIV Golf peers such as Lee Westwood, Louis Oosthuizen (whom he bested at Augusta that year), Charl Schwartzel, and Sergio Garcia were also in the field.

“It is a different kind of golf to what we are used to. We have bigger golf courses in America. You can hit driver in a lot of places. In Asia, you have some tricky holes. That’s not the way I grew up playing,” Watson told Asian Tour ahead of the tournament.

The BNI Indonesian Masters is the seventh of ten International Series events. The series was created with a $300 million investment from PIF to elevate purses on the Asian Tour and provide pathways to LIV Golf.

Moreover, since these tournaments follow a 72-hole format with a second-round cut, like traditional events, LIV golfers have the opportunity to earn world-ranking points. OWGR points are often the best, and in some cases the only, pathway to qualify for major championships.

On top of it, the top point scorer in the International Series Order of Merit list earns a card for the next season in LIV Golf. Currently, American golfer John Catlin leads the race with 838.78 points. Last year, Andy Ogletree punched his ticket to LIV Golf via the same route.
