Abraham Ancer is gearing up to defend his LIV Golf Hong Kong title this March, eager to relive the unforgettable moments from last year’s tournament.

Ancer secured his first individual victory on the LIV Golf tour in a dramatic playoff against Australia’s Cameron Smith and England’s Paul Casey at the Hong Kong Golf Club.

The Mexican golfer said that playing in Fanling is not only enjoyable but steeped in rich history.

"It's really fun and you have to be extremely accurate, not necessarily hitting it very far, but it's like playing chess, you really have to pick your battles and know when to attack and when to hold back," he said.

"I like that kind of golf where you have to think about what you're going to do off the tee, so [Hong Kong] will always be a super special place for me."

Bryson DeChambeau, the 2024 US Open champion, is also eager to return to Hong Kong.

As captain of Crushers GC, he aims to lead his team in defending their title from last season, and deliver an exciting performance for the fans in the SAR.

"Hong Kong loves their golf, and they thrive around golf. It was cool to see that last year, how much they embraced all of us and really wanted us to be there and just loved every second of it," he said.

"It’s going to be a lot of fun going back there, being the US Open champion, hopefully [we will be] showing some fireworks and winning. I want to win this year."

The tournament at the Hong Kong Golf Club will be the third event of the League's 2025 season taking place from March 7 to 9.
