Big Name Golfers Set For International Series England in August
We have recently looked at the number of established LIV Golf names who are competing in selected Asian Tour events, and you can expect to see some of them participating when International Series England returns to Foxhills Club & Resort in Surrey from 8-11 August 2024.
It is the third consecutive year that The International Series has taken the cream of the Asian Tour and a host of big-name players from LIV Golf to England.
The $2 million tournament is the eighth event of 2024 to be announced on The International Series. The schedule of 10 elevated events, sanctioned by the Asian Tour, provides a merit-based open pathway to the LIV Golf League for players from all over the world.
Rahul Singh, Head of The International Series, said: “Returning to England for a third successive year underscores the continued growth and success of The International Series brand, and the prominent position that we now occupy in the global golfing ecosystem.
“As we have seen over the past two seasons, players from the Asian Tour and around the world love competing at the iconic locations The International Series travels to, and we are delighted to partner with Foxhills on such a fitting venue, to again deliver elite-level sport at a wonderful golfing destination.
“Bringing The International Series to Foxhills offers us a real opportunity to showcase the allure of our product to a cosmopolitan, sports-loving population in and around the London area.”
International Series England will be played on the esteemed Longcross Course, Highly Recommended on Golfshake, which consistently features in the UK top 100 rankings.
Combining parkland and heathland-style holes with a tree-lined layout featuring a number of eye-catching elevated tees, the course will provide a stern test for the elite field around 18 beautiful holes surrounded by Scots pine, beech and silver birch.
Foxhills also boasts the Bernard Hunt championship course as well as a par-three nine-hole Manor Course.
Managing Director Tej Walia of Foxhills Club & Resort said: “It’s an honour to host a world-class event of this nature at Foxhills, showcasing our venue and the talent of professionals at the very top of their game.
“We have been working hard on elevating our product, both on and off the course, to position us as an attractive proposition for professional tournaments and brand partnerships. The selection as host venue is testament to the hard work of our team over the past few years and the investment of our owners to allow us to set new goals.
“The growth of the Asian Tour and The International Series has been ambitious and we are excited to be the next chapter of its journey as we look to take it to new heights for both the players and spectators, making it a marquee event on the schedule at Foxhills.
“With the size of the purse, our accessible location for international players and the reward of a place for the Series winner in next year’s LIV Golf League, we’re looking forward to seeing a strong field and an exciting week of golf on our newly renovated Longcross Course.”
