Golf tournament LIV confirms return to Hong Kong in 2026, HSBC secures title sponsorship
The highly anticipated HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong tournament is set to return to the Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling from March 6-8, 2026. This marks the third consecutive year that the tournament will take place, following the successful editions in 2024 and 2025.
The 2026 event will feature 54 of LIV Golf's top players, including international stars such as Sergio Garcia, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Joaquin Niemann, Cam Smith, Phil Mickelson, and Kevin Na. The tournament will also see the return of defending champions Fireballs GC, who clinched the title in 2025, led by Sergio Garcia's individual victory.
HSBC has been named the event's title sponsor, making it the first title-sponsored tournament in LIV Golf's history. This partnership aims to enhance LIV Golf's stature and expand its impact across Asia. Barry O'Byrne, HSBC International Wealth and Premier Banking CEO, stated that the sponsorship reflects HSBC's commitment to advancing Hong Kong's global presence.
LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that Hong Kong welcomed LIV Golf with extraordinary enthusiasm. He added that the partnership with HSBC elevates the marquee event, aligning with their shared values of innovation, accessibility, and global impact.
Andy Kwok, captain of the Hong Kong Golf Club, confirmed the event's return for both 2026 and 2027, calling it a long-term collaboration. The tournament will also offer a vibrant festival atmosphere with live music, interactive experiences, and community engagement.
Tickets for the 2026 tournament are now available on LIVGolf.com, with waitlists for hospitality and general admission. Advance ticket sales for HSBC customers will open soon. The 2026 and 2027 editions of the tournament will be broadcast live on AXN Sports.

The event is expected to attract golf enthusiasts and sports fans alike, further cementing the Hong Kong leg of the LIV Golf tournament as a standout fixture on the league's calendar.
