Chieh-po Lee won the LIV Golf Promotions event on Saturday to claim the lone spot from the qualifying tournament in the LIV Golf League for 2025.
A member of the Asian Tour who goes by the English name of Max Lee, the 30-year-old golfer from Chinese Taipei shot 10 under par in the 36-hole format at Riyadh Golf Club in Saudi Arabia to win by two shots over another Asian Tour player, Taichi Ko, and relegated LIV player Branden Grace.
The event saw 20 players qualify for the final day, with the top 10 players earnings spots on the International Series in 2025, a group of 10 elevated events that is part of the Asian Tour. Lee won his first professional event earlier this year at the International Series Thailand.
Unlike last year when three players joined LIV after the qualifier, Lee is the only player to advance to the league after LIV changed its format for this year. Lee's victory also paid him $200,000 from a $1.5 million purse. The three-day event saw two 18-hole rounds on Thursday and Friday with the scores reset for the final day. A total of 92 players entered the competition.
