HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong: A Return to Fanling in 2026

The HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong tournament is set to return to the Hong Kong Golf Club at Fanling from March 5-8, 2026. This event promises a blend of world-class golf, live music, and local culture, building on the success of previous tournaments at this historic venue.

A Historic Venue

Established in 1889, the Hong Kong Golf Club at Fanling is one of Asia’s oldest and most revered golf institutions. It has hosted more elite-level tournaments than any other club in Asia, with championship golf at its heart for over six decades. In addition to LIV Golf, the club annually hosts the Hong Kong Open, established in 1959, making it Hong Kong’s oldest professional sporting event. Since 2023, the course has likewise hosted events within the Asian Tour’s International Series.

What to Expect at the 2026 Tournament

The 2026 HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong will feature 13 teams and 57 players competing in a no-cut format. Attendees can expect more than just golf, with top local DJs, amazing street eats, and a festival atmosphere. The event aims to redefine the golf experience with live music, food, fan zones, and family-friendly activities.

Course Characteristics

Players describe the Hong Kong Golf Club as a strategic course that rewards precision over power. Anthony Kim, winner of LIV Golf Adelaide, noted, “It’s one of the shorter courses we play but it’s strategic. You have to pay close attention to every single shot.” Nick Pugh, a caddie on the Asian Tour, described the course as a “traditional, tree-lined layout” where “precision is the key.”
