Miguel Tabuena<\/a>\u2019s journey to the elite level of the professional game will take another step forward this week, with the Filipino star receiving a call-up from 4Aces GC<\/a> captain Dustin Johnson<\/a> to compete in the LIV Golf season opener in Riyadh.<\/p>\n

This opportunity follows a breakthrough season on The International Series, where the 31-year-old\u2019s rise through the Series\u2019 pathway has been one of the most compelling stories in Asian golf over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

His consistent form earned global recognition after a career-defining victory at his home event, International Series Philippines presented by BingoPlus. The win came against one of the strongest fields ever assembled in the region and saw him finish ahead of Johnson, his captain this week, after the pair were grouped together in the first two rounds.<\/p>\n

Tabuena will begin his opening round in Riyadh alongside fellow International Series winners Ben Campbell<\/a> and Yosuke Asaji<\/a>. The latter having secured his own progression to LIV Golf after finishing second in last season\u2019s International Series Rankings, behind Scott Vincent<\/a>, further underlining the Series\u2019 role in shaping what comes next for the game\u2019s emerging elite.<\/p>\n

Whilst Tabuena narrowly missed out on the overall Rankings title, finishing third in the season-long race, his performances across The International Series proved more than enough to put him firmly on LIV Golf\u2019s radar. That momentum earned him a reserve position for ROSHN Group LIV Golf Riyadh, before Johnson called him up to join the 4Aces GC team.<\/p>\n

Reuniting with Johnson this week, just months after competing against him in the Philippines, highlights Tabuena\u2019s rapid rise and the impact of The International Series pathway on his journey to the global stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an unbelievable opportunity for me this week,\u201d said Tabuena. \u201cCompeting against the best players in the world has always been a dream of mine, and I still can\u2019t believe it\u2019s finally happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning in Manila at International Series Philippines and playing well there definitely helped. That tournament had the strongest field I\u2019ve ever won against,\u201d he added. \u201cTo come out on top with the expectation and the pressure I had on myself definitely made me realise that I can harness that pressure and use it in a positive way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wearing the 4Aces GC kit this week, Tabuena will experience LIV Golf\u2019s unique team format for the first time, and he is determined to embrace the responsibility of representing both his country and his new team on one of the sport\u2019s biggest stages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Miguel Tabuena\u2019s journey to the elite level of the professional game will take another step forward this week,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":273997,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-273996","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
