A challenging week in Mexico City for Graeme, finishing T52. G-Mac opened with back-to-back rounds of even par, staying within reach early on. Hoping for a bounce back over the weekend, it proved a tough test, with rounds of +1 and +6 seeing him slip down the standings.

Overall, a difficult week, but Mexico City remains a fantastic stop on the schedule, with great support out on the course. LIV Golf has also confirmed a return to Club de Golf Chapultepec, with LIV Golf Mexico City 2027 set to feature on next year’s schedule.

G-Mac Makes Back-to-Back Aces on the LIV Golf Tour as Smash GC Finishes 7th in Singapore

LIV Golf Singapore produced another special moment for Graeme as he recorded his second hole-in-one in consecutive LIV Golf events.

Playing at Sentosa Golf Club, G-Mac finished the week T28 at 3-under par, with the standout moment coming in Round 2 with another spectacular hole-in-one.

Round 2 Highlight: Another Hole-in-One

The ace was made even more notable because it came just one week after G-Mac’s hole-in-one at LIV Golf Hong Kong, giving him back-to-back aces on the LIV Golf schedule.

Hole-in-ones are rare even at the highest level of professional golf. The odds for a tour professional are estimated to be around 1 in 2,500, making two in consecutive weeks an exceptionally rare achievement.

Recording back-to-back aces is therefore a special moment for G-Mac and one of the standout highlights of his season so far.

Steady Week for Smash GC

It was also a steady showing for Smash GC, who finished 7th at 9-under par in the team competition.

The team’s scoring across the week was:

• Round 1: E

• Round 2: -5

• Round 3: E

• Round 4: -4

• Total: -9

Smash GC will now turn their focus to the next LIV Golf event in South Africa.⛳
