The race for a LIV Golf card is on via the Asian Tour’s International Series<\/a>, with the first of eight events having begun on Thursday in Japan.<\/p>\n

Every pro who tees it up in the International Series will try to put themselves in position to win a card on the team golf circuit at the end of the year, with tournaments across Asia – and one in north Africa – on the schedule alongside regular tour events.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As is the case with regular Asian Tour events, points are on offer for those who make the cut at International Series tournaments and they go towards a running total with the top two pros – who do not already hold LIV status for 2027 – earning their spot on LIV.<\/p>\n

But in the short term, there are also significant pots of prize money to be handed out. For example, in Japan this week, there is a $2 million payout on the line.<\/p>\n

And because 2025 champion Lucas Herbert<\/a> is not in the field, there is guaranteed to be a new winner. So whoever follows the Ripper GC pro into the winner’s circle is destined to earn $360,000.<\/p>\n

After three rounds, there were joint leaders, with Shugo Imahira and Hongtaek Kim both on 10 under, one clear of former LIV Golfer Yubin Jang.<\/p>\n

The runner-up could pick up $220,000 while third and fourth may secure six-figure payouts, providing they don’t have company on the leaderboard through 72 holes.<\/p>\n
