The Asian Tour’s 2025 Link Hong Kong Open is currently underway at the prestigious Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling. This iconic course has hosted the event for multiple seasons, making it one of the most traditional and top-tier tournaments on the tour. The tournament boasts a total prize pool of $2 million, providing a significant incentive for the competing golfers.
In addition to the prize money, the stakes are high as the winner will earn exemptions to two of golf’s most coveted majors: the Masters Tournament and The Open Championship. This makes the Link Hong Kong Open a massive opportunity for players aiming to secure their place on the global stage.
The tournament kicked off on October 30, and after an exciting and competitive first day, Tom McKibbin currently leads the field. McKibbin delivered a flawless round, finishing at 10 under par. However, despite his impressive performance, his lead is far from comfortable. Jazz Janewattananond is hot on his heels in second place with a score of 9 under par.
Looking ahead, Round 2 of the 2025 Link Hong Kong Open is scheduled to begin on October 31 at 6:40 AM. A total of 46 tee groups will participate, with 23 groups starting on the front nine holes and another 23 groups beginning on the back nine.
