Hong Kong SAR: Sergio Garcia and his red-hot Fireballs GC team captured both trophies at LIV Golf Hong Kong, while HyFlyers GC Captain Phil Mickelson appears to have recaptured his Hall of Fame form.

Led by their captain Garcia, the Fireballs have now won back-to-back tournaments, having claimed LIV Golf Adelaide last month.

They will head to this week’s LIV Golf Singapore presented by Aramco seeking to become the first LIV Golf team to win three consecutive tournaments since the league expanded to a full 14-tournament schedule in 2023.

Garcia shot a bogey-free seven-under 63 at Hong Kong Golf Club (HKGC) to finish at 18-under and claim the individual title by three shots over hard-charging Dean Burmester, whose 62 was the low round of the day.

Garcia, who finished third in the season-long Individual Championship race last season, moved atop the points standings after the first three events in 2025.

The 45-year-old Garcia played the final hole with a comfortable individual lead but needed to make par to avoid dropping into a team play-off with Burmester’s Stinger GC. Facing a lengthy birdie putt, he rolled it to within tap-in range to seal the Fireballs’ sixth LIV Golf team title in club history. They climbed atop the season-long team standings by 10 points over Legion XIII.

“It was nice to see not only that I was doing well and leading the tournament, but my team-mates were playing great,” said Garcia, who follows team-mate Abraham Ancer as individual champions in Hong Kong.

“They were keeping us there with a chance to win. Obviously when you can pull the double, it’s a lot sweeter than if it’s just one of them. Very proud of them,” said Garcia.

The Fireballs and Stingers appeared headed for a play-off until Luis Masaveu, the 22-year-old Spaniard signed by Garcia in the off-season, birdied his final hole, the short par-four 10th. “It feels incredible,” said Masaveu. “Very happy for the team to be able to hole that putt and help them.”

Masaveu shot an even-par 70, with Ancer shooting 65 and David Puig a bogey-free 67 for a three-day team total of 37-under. The South African Stingers shot 17-under as a team on Sunday to finish one shot back. Mickelson’s HyFlyers GC tied for third at 34-under with Cameron Smith’s Ripper GC, the reigning Team Champions. It was the HyFlyers’ third podium result in team history. 

Individually, Mickelson finished solo third after his 64 left him at 14-under. It’s the first podium finish for the 54-year-old Mickelson since joining LIV Golf as an original member in 2022, and it couldn’t have come at a better time with golf’s first Major just a month away at the Masters.

“The fact is, I’m hitting a lot of good shots. I’m playing some good golf,” said Mickelson, who has won three of his six Majors at Augusta National. “This is a building week as I continue to build into LIV and my goal of accomplishing a win in LIV as well as winning another Major or getting ready for Augusta.”
