A year on from Sergio Garcia’s second LIV Golf triumph, the PIF-backed circuit has returned to Fanling for its Hong Kong stop and each of the 57 players involved began the week trying to emulate the Spaniard’s achievement.

Others in contention included Thomas Pieters, Dean Burmester and Carlos Ortiz at 15 under, while Lucas Herbert began the day in seventh on 14 under.
Smash GC led 4Aces GC by two in the team contest ahead of the final round.
Whoever stands on the top step of the podium after Sunday’s play has been completed will once again win $4 million from a total prize money payout of $20 million.
That is before factors like taxes and other takeaways reduce the amount of money professional golfers really see after a tournament.

Each of the top four positions offer maximum payouts of more than $1 million while everyone in the field is guaranteed at least $50,000.
New for 2026 is OWGR points for the top-10 and ties, with the potential to earn at least $400,000 for a high finish included as well.
Additionally, LIV has introduced a new mini pot of $2.3 million to be allocated to players on the top-three teams at each tournament.
In theory, the prizes of $1 million, $800,000 and $500,000 could be given to the leading player on the corresponding team’s roster, but LIV noted that “captains can allocate to their team players as they wish.”
Below is the maximum prize money payout for each position at LIV Golf Hong Kong before ties are taken into account.
