LIV Golf resumes its 2025 season with its Hong Kong event this weekend (coverage begins Thursday at 11 p.m. ET on FS1).
Hong Kong Golf Club, established in 1889, has been a fixture in professional golf for more than six decades.
The club has hosted the Hong Kong Open since 1959 and is currently part of the 2024 Asian Tour schedule as one of the 10 International Series tournaments.
The Hong Kong Open is one of just three events in the history of golf to be played at the same venue for more than 60 years.

Fireballs GC's Abraham Ancer won the inaugural LIV Golf Hong Kong in 2024 in a three-man playoff against Ripper GC Captain Cameron Smith and Crushers GC's Paul Casey.
Favorites
Jon Rahm is the favorite at +550, and will look to maintain his streak of top-10 finishes in every LIV Golf start that he's completed. Rahm's Legion XIII team enters Hong Kong atop the team points standings after a win in Riyadh and second-place finish in Adelaide.
Ancer is currently +1900 to win the event this year, but Crushers GC took home the team title in 2024.
Cleeks GC's Adrian Meronk, the winner in Riyadh, enters as the Individual points leader and is +3300 to win, with Adelaide champion Joaquin Niemann, the Torque GC captain, in third place behind Rahm and currently +650 to win.
