Asian Tour Player John Catlin Leads Race For LIV Golf Spot Through International Series
The Asian Tour's International Series offers a direct pathway to the LIV Golf League, with the rankings leader earning automatic qualification for the following season. Currently, American John Catlin leads the standings with 900.58 points, though his advantage has shrunk to less than 90 points over second-placed Ben Campbell.
The International Series comprises 10 elevated tournaments within the Asian Tour schedule, each offering minimum prize purses of $2 million. This qualification route has previously launched the LIV Golf careers of Scott Vincent and Andy Ogletree.
Catlin has had a strong season with one victory at International Series Macau and two playoff losses in Morocco and Thailand. His consistency shows in eight top-10 finishes across the Asian Tour season.
