LIV GOLF – SINGAPORE 2026

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.⛳

THE COURSE – Hong Kong Golf Club at Fanling

Built on the fantasy island of Sentosa, the Serapong has signature touches 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.

G-Mac Finishes T8 in Hong Kong with Hole-in-One Highlight as Smash GC Takes Team Runner-Up

LIV Golf Hong Kong was a memorable week for Graeme as he secured a T8 finish at 14-under par and delivered one of the tournament’s standout moments with a hole-in-one.

Playing at the historic Hong Kong Golf Club, G-Mac showed great form throughout the week and capped it off with a strong team performance alongside Smash GC, who finished T2 in the team competition.

Round 2 Highlight: Ace and a 63

The highlight of the week came in Round 2, when G-Mac produced a brilliant 7-under-par 63.

The round featured:

  • Hole-in-one on the 192-yard par-3 5th
  • Six birdies
  • Just one bogey
  • Front nine: 31 (-3)
  • Back nine: 32 (-4)

The ace sparked the round and quickly became one of the biggest moments of the event, helping G-Mac climb the leaderboard and set up a strong finish.

Big Week for Smash GC

It was also a strong showing for Smash GC, with the team combining well throughout the tournament to secure 2nd place at 52-under par.

The team’s scoring across the week was impressive:

  • Round 1: -19
  • Round 2: -16
  • Round 3: -9
  • Round 4: -8
  • Total: -52

The performance kept Smash GC firmly in contention all week and resulted in podium finish for the team.

A Week to Remember in Hong Kong

A top-10 finish, a hole-in-one, and a podium team result made it a fantastic week in Hong Kong for G-Mac and Smash GC — and another reminder that the Northern Irishman can still produce plenty of magic on the golf course. ⛳

THE COURSE – Hong Kong Golf Club at Fanling

For over 100 years, the Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling has been an icon of Asia’s World City, a magnet for amateurs and legends alike. In fact it’s the joint-oldest continuous tournament venue in the world, a record it shares with Augusta.

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.

What happened before we got here?

A lot! 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.

GMAC put together a positive, confidence-boosting week at Riyadh 2026, finishing T27 after four rounds of composed, under-par golf. An even-par opening round set a steady foundation, and from there he steadily built momentum as the tournament unfolded.

LIV GOLF – INDIANAPOLIS 2025

2025-08-18T09:43:30+01:00August 18th, 2025|

AUG 15-17, 2025

Graeme was back firing this week coming home in T14 place at The Club at Chatham Hills, USA. On Friday, G-Mac bounced back strongly, recovering from a bogey on the 17th (his 4th) with a streak of three birdies on 7, 8 and 9 (his 12th, 13th, 14th), then adding another on the 13th (his 17th) to close the day at -3.

He stepped it up further on Saturday, firing a five-under round that featured seven birdies against just two dropped shots. On Sunday, Graeme carried the momentum, racing to five under through his first ten holes. A bogey on the 16th (his 13th) was quickly offset with a birdie at the 3rd (his 17th), securing back-to-back rounds of five under par.

This solid T14 finish was a timely boost after a couple of quieter weeks, while Team Smash GC ended the event in 10th place overall with a score of -4 -7 -16, Total -27

THE COURSE

Whisper the name ‘Pete Dye’ and you’re likely to strike fear into the hearts of golfers everywhere. After all, this is the guy who created Whistling Straits and Sawgrass. The guy who redefined the terrifying par 3.

Chatham Hills, north of Indianapolis, is Dye’s last great course. The one he considered his masterpiece. Each subtle slope has been sculpted into a sneaky trap, and there are watery jaws all over the property, just waiting to devour a wayward drive.

It’s a fitting place to crown the new LIV Golf Individual Champion. and we’re likely to see some superb golf as the players battle for those all-important final spots, which will determine who stays in the league, who goes, and who gets a new contract with their team.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the host venue, and the architect who made it all possible.

Course Stats: 7143 Yards, Par 71.
