After an incredible start to the season that saw LIV Golf rookie Elvis Smylie win in Riyadh and Anthony Kim win in inspirational fashion in Adelaide, LIV Golf heads to HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong.

RELATED: Where to Watch 

Hong Kong Golf Club at Fanling is a par 70 measuring 6,711 yards. The course is a tight, demanding layout — one of the smallest in professional golf, with dense tree-lined fairways and small, protected greens.

Here are the Power Rankings for HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong for all 13 teams. 

TEAM POWER RANKINGS
1. Legion XIII

Jon Rahm‘s team will enter the week chomping at the bit to earn their first team victory of the season after finishing runner-up at LIV Golf Adelaide. The Spaniard began his 2026 campaign with back-to-back second-place finishes and his running mate, Tyrrell Hatton, bounced back nicely in Adelaide by finishing T3 after a disappointing start to the season in Riyadh (47th). Tom McKibbin won the Link Hong Kong Open at the Hong Kong Golf Club so he will have the advantage of already mastering the tricky layout. 

2. Ripper GC

Ripper GC has gotten off to an incredible start, winning both LIV Golf events to start the season. Their acquisition of a talented young player in Elvis Smylie paid immediate dividends in Adelaide, and the veteran contingent of Ripper is now rounding into form. Last week, Lucas Herbert (4th in Hong Kong last season) finished runner-up at the New Zealand Open and punched his ticket to The Open Championship and will be carrying a great deal of momentum into the week. He began his LIV Golf season by finishing T9 in Riyadh and T6 in Adelaide. Cameron Smith and Marc Leishman  both finished top 10 in their last start. 

3. Torque GC

Torque GC is coming off a relatively disappointing finish in Adelaide after starting their season with a runner-up in Riyadh. The team led by Joaquin Niemann finished 5th but struggled to keep up with the torrid pace set by Ripper GC and Legion XIII, who followed closely behind. Hong Kong Golf Club should bring some positive vibes for Torque. In 2024, Abraham Ancer won the individual trophy in Hong Kong and is clearly a fantastic fit for the golf course. Sebastian Munoz continues to be one of the most consistent performers in the league, finishing in the top 10 in both of his starts to begin 2026.
