The 2024 LIV Golf Hong Kong winner, Mexico’s Abraham Ancer, and the reigning Asian Tour Order of Merit champion, John Catlin from the United States, are among the latest stars to confirm their participation for the International Series India presented by DLF – the US$2 million tournament set to take place at DLF Golf and Country Club later this month.

Ancer and Catlin will join U.S. Open champion and captain of LIV Golf’s Crushers GC, Bryson DeChambeau from the United States, plus India’s Anirban Lahiri, and The International Series Rankings winner Joaquin Niemann from Chile for the highly anticipated tournament taking place from January 30 to February 02 in Gurugram, New Delhi.

It is the second event of the year on the Asian Tour, following a week after the season-opening Philippine Open.

Ancer, a key member of Spaniard Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs GC in 2024, delivered an impressive season in the LIV Golf League – finishing 12^th in the individual standings thanks to his victory in Hong Kong and three additional top-10 finishes. He also claimed the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers in 2023 – that year’s season-opening event on the Asian Tour.

Catlin enjoyed an outstanding 2024 campaign, claiming back-to-back Asian Tour victories at the International Series Macau presented by Wynn in March, where he carded an historic 59, the first on the Asian Tour, edging out Fireballs GC’s David Puig from Spain in a thrilling play-off, and at the Saudi Open presented by PIF in April.

In addition to his wins, the American delivered strong performances with two play-off defeats on The International Series. He narrowly missed out at the International Series Morocco to Ben Campbell, who just joined LIV Golf with RangeGoats GC, and at the Black Mountain Championship in Thailand to compatriot M.J. Maguire.

He also enjoyed a successful season as alternate on the LIV Golf League, with a tied seventh his season-high in six appearances for three different teams, Crushers GC, Smash GC and Legion XIII.

International Series India presented by DLF marks the debut of the LIV Golf-backed series on the subcontinent. It is the first of 10 International Series events on this season’s Asian Tour, featuring stops in destinations such as Macau, Morocco, Indonesia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Saudi Arabia, with additional locations to be announced soon.

The series provides a global pathway for players to qualify for the LIV Golf League, with the season-ending rankings champion securing a guaranteed spot on the roster for the following season.
