The International Series Rankings will once again act as a pathway to the LIV Golf League in 2026.

All events on The International Series will feature minimum prize money of US$2 million with the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers at US$5 million the richest on Tour.

In addition, the return of the SJM Macau Open, 41st Shinhan Donghae Open, Saudi Open presented by PIF and Chinese-Taipei’s Yeangder Tournament Players Championship, Mercuries Taiwan Masters and Taiwan Glass Taifong Open will add strength and depth to the 2025 season.

The National Opens of Indonesia and Malaysia are also expected to be on the schedule.

Cho Minn Thant, the Asian Tour’s Commissioner and CEO, said: “We have come a long way since the Asian Tour was established 20 years ago and 2025 promises to be another exciting season, where we will comfortably surpass US$30 million in total prize money for the third successive year.

“It will be a year where we can again provide great opportunities for our members, entertain our millions of fans across the region, and return to some popular and familiar destinations.

“We will provide regular updates as the schedule continues to develop and as we move into a year that promises so much.”

The Final Stage of the 2026 Qualifying School will take place at the end of 2025.

The Asian Tour’s current season was completed last weekend at the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers.

Victory went to Chile’s Joaquin Niemann after a season that saw 21 tournaments staged offering US$33.75 million in total prize money.
