Major champions Sergio Garcia and Patrick Reed are the latest big names confirmed for the International Series Macau presented by Wynn – which will take place at Macau Golf and Country Club, from March 20-23.

Both competed in the inaugural edition of the event last year, when The International Series event made its debut.

Spaniard Garcia is captain of the Fireballs GC team on the LIV Golf League and will be joined by his teammates Mexican Abraham Ancer, the LIV Golf Hong Kong 2024 champion, Spaniard David Puig, who lost in a play-off to American John Catlin in the Macau event last year, and another Spaniard Luis Masaveu, a close-season signing for the team. All four Fireballs GC players have shown good form already this season, securing the team title at the recent LIV Golf Adelaide by an emphatic six strokes last Sunday.

Garcia tied for 21st last year in Macau while Reed finished fourth and even played with Catlin in the third round when he shot his 59 – the first ever sub-60 on the Asian Tour. Later in the year Reed fired a 59 en-route to winning the Link Hong Kong Open – so it will be a popular return to the Greater Bay Area for the 2018 Masters champion.

Catlin and Puig have confirmed they will return to Macau as will Hong Kong native Taichi Kho, the 2023 World City Championship winner.

The latest player news comes off the back of the tournament becoming part of the Open Qualifying Series for the first time. The top three finishers, not exempt, will earn a place at this summer’s Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

Rahul Singh, Head of The International Series, said: “Welcoming a field of this calibre, featuring major champions, LIV Golf stars, and rising talent, takes International Series Macau presented by Wynn to another level.

“The presence of globally recognised players alongside proven winners from The International Series and Asian Tour adds incredible depth to the competition, making this a must-watch event. With so much at stake, including three places in the field for The Open, we’re set for an electrifying week of world-class golf.”
