In 2025, the international golf scene remains vibrant in Asia. At the Jakarta International Championship, former LIV golfer Wade Ormsby overcame a one-stroke penalty in the third round and clinched victory in a playoff, earning his fifth Asian Tour title.
Meanwhile, the International Series Cambodia, originally scheduled as part of the 2025 circuit, was cancelled due to political tensions along the Cambodia-Thailand border. Organizers cited safety concerns as the primary reason for the abrupt decision.
This cancellation reshapes the landscape of the season. According to the official calendar, the International Series originally included 10 events; with Cambodia removed, the remaining stops include the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia.
Looking ahead, international golf continues to evolve amidst uncertainty. Players and organizers must navigate not only the challenges on the fairways, but also geopolitical, logistical, and safety hurdles.
