Lee Chieh-po Claims Victory at LIV Golf Promotions in Riyadh

Riyadh Celebrates Lee Chieh-po’s Stunning Victory!

**Riyadh, Saudi Arabia** – The golf world is buzzing after Lee Chieh-po, a 30-year-old from Chinese Taipei, claimed an impressive victory at the 36-hole LIV Golf Promotions event on Saturday. With a fantastic display of skill, including nine birdies in the morning alone, Lee not only secured his ticket to join the prestigious LIV Golf league in 2025 but also marked a significant milestone for golfers from his home country.

A Dream Come True

Lee, known by his English name Max, has become the first player from Chinese Taipei to earn full-time status in the LIV Golf league. His journey is a source of inspiration for many aspiring golfers back home. “It means a lot for our players,” he stated, reflecting on the significance of his achievement. Lee’s victory comes after a strong run this season, culminating in a win at the International Series Thailand earlier in the year. “LIV Golf, I think it’s many players’ dream. I go there and they will come,” he added, highlighting his hopes to inspire others.

An Impressive Performance

Lee finished the grueling weekend with a two-round total of 10 under par, edging out fellow competitor Taichi Kho by two strokes. Now that’s what you call a tight finish! The final field of 20 players included some tough competition, including LIV Golf veteran Branden Grace. Lee’s remarkable morning round of 7-under 64 included a staggering nine birdies—four of which came in the last five holes!

Starting the day strong, Lee took the lead with his impressive score, putting him ahead of Ollie Schniederjans, who performed wonderfully with a bogey-free 66. As the afternoon rolled on, Lee maintained his composure, holding a narrow lead as he approached the challenging holes.

Thrilling Conclusion

Going into the final holes, Lee had his sights set on victory. However, a slight hiccup at the par-4 16th where he hit a wayward approach led to a bogey, tightening the competition as his lead shrank. “I hit it way poor to the left, and I was laughing, like, what am I doing?” he laughed, showing his ability to keep nerves in check.

But just when things seemed tense, Lee delivered a remarkable shot at the par-3 17th, arguably the toughest hole on the back nine. His tee ball rolled nearly into the cup, and he made the birdie, regaining his momentum. “Just tried to reset my mind,” he shared. “That shot is very important. I hit a very good tee shot.” After staying steady at the 18th, Lee’s finish secured his well-deserved victory.

A Bright Future Ahead

For Lee, this victory is just the beginning. He’s excited about climbing the ranks in LIV Golf, where he will face off against some of the best players in the world. “On the LIV Tour, every player is very strong,” he expressed, eager for the opportunities for growth and learning that lie ahead. His journey hasn’t been easy; a hip injury last year forced him to adjust his swing, but it has clearly paid off. “Now it’s getting better, and the swing is easier,” he mentioned with a smile.

As for other competitors, they were left with their heads held high, with Grace looking towards future opportunities with his team and Schniederjans feeling encouraged by his week, stating he’s “very confident about where everything is heading.”

In Conclusion

Lee’s win and the vibrant atmosphere in Riyadh are sure to propel his career forward. As he embarks on this new journey with LIV Golf, fans and golfers alike will be keeping a close eye on Max—ready to see just how far this rising star will soar!
