Riyadh Golf Club Hosts Exciting LIV Golf Promotions Event

Riyadh Golf Club Shines as Players Aim for LIV Golf Dreams

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – The excitement at the LIV Golf Promotions event wasn’t just about one victory. While Max Lee clinched his spot in next season’s LIV Golf League, plenty of others walked away with some serious opportunities of their own. The top 10 finishers at Riyadh Golf Club, including several intriguing names, have earned exemptions into all 10 events on next year’s International Series calendar.

Among the talented crew is an impressive lineup featuring American Ollie Schniederjans, Germany’s Max Rottluff, England’s David Horsey, South Korean Soomin Lee, and the Aussie duo of Brett Coletta and Jack Buchanan. It’s a solid mix that showcases the growing global interest in golf’s evolving landscape.

Rottluff’s Road to Opportunity

Rottluff, who used to room with Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm at Arizona State, was already eyeing tips from his fellow golfer, Martin Kaymer, before the four-round tournament kicked off. His skills shone through, especially when he started the week with a stunning 6-under 65, securing him the second spot in Round 1. By keeping a clean slate in the following rounds, he ended up with three birdies, finishing with a solid four-under total, landing him in seventh place. “I’m going to take a very close look at the calendar,” Rottluff shared excitedly. “I can’t wait to travel the globe and take part in the International Series.”

Horsey Finds His Way

Buchanan and Coletta Relish Rookie Success

For young golfers like Buchanan, finishing T4 feels like a significant win in what has already been an impressive rookie year. After bagging his first pro win at the WA PGA Championship in Australia, he couldn’t be happier. “While LIV Golf was my ultimate goal, getting into the International Series was on my radar too,” he said. “I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to play alongside some big names like Patrick Reed and Louis Oosthuizen.”

His fellow Australian Brett Coletta also shared his excitement. After competing against a stellar field that included the likes of Joaquin Niemann, he stated, “It was an unbelievable experience, and there’s more of that to come! I can’t wait to see what next year holds.”
