LIV Golf continues its 2025 season this week in Singapore, with Sentosa Golf Club playing host to the competition.

Phil Mickelson will change his club set-up at LIV Golf Singapore, despite finishing third in Hong Kong last week.

Sergio Garcia won LIV Golf Hong Kong, finishing three shots ahead of Dean Burmester on 18-under, with Mickelson ending on 14-under.

And it was Garcia’s Fireballs GC who took the team win, finishing one shot ahead of Stinger GC at Hong Kong Golf Club.

The Spaniard has now moved top of the individual standings ahead of the trip to Singapore, with Fireballs also top of the team standings.

LIV Golf introduces reserve play-off ahead of Singapore

They will be chasing a third successive team win this week, having also won in Adelaide, but there is one team that has undergone a change for the upcoming event.

Iron Heads GC will include John Catlin at Sentosa, with the American having just won LIV Golf’s first-ever reserve play-off.

The roster opening came as Iron Heads player Jinichiro Kozuma remains out indefinitely due to injury, with Catlin now linking up with Kevin Na’s side.

The team selected one of the league’s reserve players in the first three tournaments, but LIV Golf has since created a new qualifying process as Kozuma’s absence continues.

The four reserves on-site in Hong Kong – Catlin, Wade Ormsby, Kalle Samooja and Ollie Schniederjans – played out a progressive elimination play-off at Sentosa.

Catlin made six starts as a reserve last time out; four for Crushers GC, one for Smash GC, and one for Legion XIII.
