MANILA, Philippines – In-form 2025 tournament winners Dean Burmester and Marc Leishman headline the latest wave of LIV Golf stars confirmed for International Series Philippines presented by BingoPlus, one of the region’s most anticipated events. The event takes place from Oct. 23–26.
Burmester of Stinger GC brings the momentum of a breakthrough victory at LIV Golf Miami, where he defeated heavyweights Jon Rahm, the captain of Legion XIII, and Joaquin Niemann, captain of Torque GC, in a dramatic playoff. His stellar 2025 season also included a runner-up finish at LIV Golf Hong Kong and two additional top three results, securing fifth place in the season standings and lifting Stinger GC to third overall.
Leishman, a member of the all-Australian Ripper GC, arrives in the Philippines on the back of a superb season that included both an individual and team win in Miami, plus five other top-15 finishes.
Adding further star power to the line-up is veteran Richard Bland of Cleeks Golf Club. The two-time Senior Major champion and top-10 finisher at International Series England last year recorded six top-15 finishes this season on LIV Golf, including an impressive fifth place in Adelaide.
Iron Heads GC standout Jinichiro Kozuma is also in the field. The Japanese player, who originally earned his spot through the LIV Golf Promotions event in 2023, has shown real promise this season with three top-10 finishes, including a runner-up result in Dallas.
Kozuma’s former teammate, Scott Vincent, will also join the line-up in excellent form following a commanding victory at International Series Morocco. On top of that, the Zimbabwean has also secured three additional top-10 finishes on the Asian Tour this season, putting him in strong contention and marking him as one of the players to watch.
