Ogletree hits form ahead of this week’s LIV Golf Singapore


Published on April 29, 2024

Reigning Asian Tour Order of Merit champion Andy Ogletree will arrive at this week’s LIV Golf Singapore brimming with confidence following a breakthrough performance on the LIV Golf League at the weekend.

The American finished in joint third place individually at LIV Golf Adelaide yesterday for his best performance by far on the multi-million-dollar franchise – that also helped his HyFlyers GC side secure third place in the team competition.

Ogletree’s team-mate Brendan Steele from the United States won the individual title on 18-under, with Ogletree finishing two shots back, after playing some of the best golf of his career, shooting rounds of 65-70-65, at the Grange Golf Club.

The all-Australian team of Ripper GC, featuring Cam Smith, Marc Leishman, Matt Jones and Lucas Herbert, claimed the team event in a play-off.

The Adelaide event, which once again saw huge crowds flock to watch the action, was making its second appearance on the LIV Golf schedule, as will be the case with LIV Golf Singapore.

Former US Amateur champion Ogletree is playing on the LIV Golf League this season thanks to topping last year’s International Series Rankings, helped by wins in International Series events in Qatar and England.

He will be joined at Sentosa Golf Club, venue for LIV Golf Singapore, by fellow Asian Tour regulars Scott and Kieran Vincent from Zimbabwe.

Scott Vincent, who won the 2022 International Series Rankings, will be looking for another good week in Singapore having claimed fourth place last season, which included a brilliant 62 on day two.

LIV Golf Singapore begins on Friday and will feature all the stars from the LIV Golf League, including defending champion Talor Gooch from the United States, and Spaniard Sergio Garcia, whom he beat in a play-off last year, as well as Major Champions Smith, Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, and Louis Oosthuizen.

Sentosa is the home of the Asian Tour, with its main office located on Singapore’s idyllic holiday island.
