Mar 20th – 23th, 2025

Graeme had a poor opening day on the greens at Macau G&CC, taking 34 putts as he opened with a two-over 72 to share 111th.

The 2010 US Open champion (45) double-bogeyed the second and three-putted the third to slip to three over.

He birdied the seventh, ninth and 13th to get back to level but had two more three putts as he bogeyed the 14th, 16th and 17th before finishing with a birdie.

On Day 2, McDowell found his rhythm, firing a five-under 65, which included eight birdies, to make a significant leap up the leaderboard heading into the weekend. However, he couldn’t maintain that momentum, posting an even-par 70 on Saturday, followed by a one-under 69 in the final round.

He can still rally in Macau or qualify for The Open via the LIV Golf individual standings or Final qualifying.

“Yeah, obviously it’s a great opportunity next week in Macau to have three Open Championship spot,” McDowell said after LIV Singapore last week, where he finished 53rd in the 54-man field.

“Especially for me with it being Royal Portrush, my hometown, there’s a little bit of extra motivation there.”

It was a challenging week for Graeme in Singapore, as he finished 53rd on the leaderboard.

In his opening round, G-Mac got off to a good start with a birdie, but struggled afterward, ending the day with a disappointing +7.

Day 2 saw Graeme’s best performance, shooting an even-par 71, which included an eagle on the par-5 4th hole (his 8th hole of the day).

Sunday proved to be another tough day, with the Portrush man posting a +3 round, finishing the week at +10 overall.

However, there was a bright spot over the weekend—Graeme’s racehorse, Givemefive, co-owned with Smash GC teammate Brooks Koepka. Givemefive ridden by Paul O’Brien made it a treble of wins on the day at Fairyhouse Racecourse in Co. Meath, Ireland.

Result: 53 with rounds of +7, E, +3, Total +10

Team Smash GC finished in 8th place with a score of -1, -4, -5 for a Total of -17

THE COURSE

Brooks Koepka says the Serapong is his favorite LIV Golf course of all. And when you see it with your own eyes, you realize why.

Built on the fantasy island of Sentosa, the Serapong has signatures on every hole. Jungles down the flank, beaches beyond the greens and an iconic ‘drive over the ocean’ on 15. But it’s not all picture-postcards: this course is a fierce test of golf, and it’s already hosted a couple of LIV Golf classics.

As we prepare to return, let’s take a quick trip to paradise and see what makes the Serapong so special.

LIV Golf’s latest event rolled into Fanlin, Hong Kong at the Hong Kong Golf Club.

Having finished 8th place last year it is an event that Graeme’s enjoys.

G-Mac opened his account with an opening 2 under par which included three birdies with one dropped shot.

It was on day Day 2 that Graeme found his rhythm shooting a fantastic five-under par to put him just four shots off the pace. This moved him up to seventh place and in good shape on the leaderboard at seven-under-par.

However, despite a strong stretch of four birdies in seven holes on Sunday, Graeme slipped out of the top 10. A bogey on the par-4 11th (his 10th hole of the day) and a late double bogey on the 18th (his 17th hole) saw him drop to 12th place. He finished the event with a 2-under-par round, ending the week at 9-under-par.

Result: T12, -2, -5, -2, Total -9

Team Smash GC finished in 12th place with a score of +3, -15, -5, Total -17

THE COURSE

Now, LIV Golf is here to write a fresh chapter in this amazing history. Last year’s debut brought a record single-day crowd to Fanling, finishing in twin thrillers on the final day.

Whether you caught LIV Golf Hong Kong last year or you’re making your own debut this time, here’s everything to know as we begin the first Asian leg of our season.

Hong Kong Golf Club can trace its history all the way back to 1889 and the current course was first laid in 1911. It’s been hosting the Hong Kong Open every year since 1959 (our own Patrick Reed, of 4Aces GC, took the last one in 2024).

How does this course play?

Tight and tough. Fanling is one of the smallest courses in golf, so bomb and gouge (the golfers’ term for distance over accuracy) won’t cut it.

Course Stats: 6691 Yards, Par 70.

It was a tough week at The Grange Golf Club for both Graeme and Team Smash GC.

Day 1 saw Graeme start with a bogey, but he quickly bounced back with two birdies in the first four holes. The middle stretch proved challenging as he dropped three shots, though he managed to regain some momentum with a birdie on his 16th hole (course hole 13) before closing with a par to finish the day at +1.

Day 2 was a struggle for the Portrush man, as he carded a three-over-par round with four bogeys and just one birdie.

But in true G-Mac fashion, he fought until the end, saving his best for Sunday. He posted a two-under-par 70, sinking five birdies along the way to finish the week on a high note.

Thank you Adelaide and also the great support by all of the fans.

Result: T37, +1, +3, -2, Total +2

Team Smash GC finished in 13th place with a score of +3, +5, +5, Total +13

The 2025 LIV Golf season will start in sensational style when we pay our first visit to the exciting city of Riyadh on February 6-8.

Fans who flock to Riyadh Golf Club, just 20 minutes from the center of the capital of Saudi Arabia, will be rewarded by the sight of some of the world’s top golfers competing for the first prize of the year.

Riyadh is home to seven million people, many of them lovers of sport and golf in particular. The game is booming in the Kingdom, with more and more people keen to play and watch it.

That makes Riyadh Golf Club the ideal place to start the new season. The welcome will be as warm as the weather – and the competition for victory between the LIV Golf teams and their players will be red-hot.

Dec 4th – 7th, 2024

Graeme was in Saudi Arabia at the Riyadh Golf Club for the PIF Saudi International, G-Mac is a past winner having collected the trophy back in 2020.

“It’s always nice to come back to a tournament that you’ve won even though it may be a new course venue,” he said. This is my first time in Riyadh, so it’s always exciting travelling to a new venue for a first occasion, and nice to come back to a tournament and see your picture on billboards and holding a trophy in your hands. It also reminds you coming back to tournaments like this that you also have won in some pretty cool places around the world and it’s been a pretty nice career.”

After a disappointing opening round of 74, Graeme bounced back in style on Day 2 with a six under par 65, sensationally capping his round with an eagle ‘2’ by holing a chip shot at the par-4 third hole – his 12th.

The effort saw McDowell jump just over 50 places from T108th position following a struggling opening three-over 74 to just outside the top-50.

“It was a great turnaround from yesterday and good news in that it has delayed the McDowell Enterprises for 48-hours”, he said smiling.

“I was all rusty yesterday and had a couple of months off but I have been working hard for the past two months but have not hit a lot of balls.

“I took me nine holes to figure out where my swing was at yesterday and while I figured it out a little bit on my back nine yesterday while this morning I hung in there the first nine holes, making the turn at one under and then birdied one and two and holed my second on three and birdied four which was nice.

“So, I was on my surfboard today which was nice and my persistence was rewarded today as it’s difficult to make putts on the greens as they’re not up to the standard we’d like to be.

“They are better in the morning, like this morning, than they are in the afternoon.

“So, happy to hang in there and have another two rounds to play and a really good tournament”.

As McDowell said he capped his round at the 434-yard par-4 third hole where he played a 125-yard gap wedge second shot.

“I then had the putter out walking up the green and I said to Kenny (Comboy – caddy) this could be quite close”, said McDowell.

“It was nice to see the ball in the cup because I just couldn’t get anything going and then all of a sudden it all happened in a flash … birdie, birdie, eagle and birdie”, he said.

“So, it got me back into the tournament which was nice and now looking forward to the closing 36 holes and trying to sign off my year on a bright note”.

On day 3 Graeme battled his way to par his round with a one over par 72, which again dropped him back. It was yo-yo week with Graeme firing a nice 66 ( 5 under) on the final day to finish in T62 on -7 with rounds of 74, 65, 72 and 66.
