This is everything you need to know about LIV Golf Bangkok, taking place at Stonehill in Thailand as the controversial series makes its debut in Asia.
LIV Golf Bangkok is the sixth $25m tournament of the controversial series' inaugural eight-event season and the first time Greg Norman and company will head to Asia.
The field has now been confirmed and there has been one switch, with Japan's Hideto Tanihara coming into the 48-man field to replace Spain's David Puig.

The tournament will take place at Stonehill in the Phathum Thani province of Thailand over October 7-9. It will feature the familiar shotgun start format.
Cameron Smith, the 150th Open Champion, managed to get his first win since signing for LIV Golf when they played their last event in Chicago, winning the tournament by three strokes and picking up $4m.

After LIV Golf Bangkok, there will be two more events played before LIV switches over to a league in 2023.
The remaining events will be played in Jeddah and Trump Doral at Miami for the $50m Tour Championship.
LIV Golf had to make changes to their final event in the midst of what was a reportedly imminent TV deal.
LIV Golf's highest earners through five events:
10. Carlos Ortiz - $3,740,000
9. Louis Oosthuizen - $4,114,167
8. Peter Uihlein - $4,115,500

The Bangkok Invitational is the first LIV Golf event to be played after the 2022 Presidents Cup that was won by the US side 17.5 to 12.5 over Trevor Immelman's International side.
That event was hit hard by the LIV players who were unable to be selected because they had joined the PGA Tour's rival.
The aforementioned Smith, Abraham Ancer, Louis Oosthuizen, Marc Leishman and Joaquin Niemann were missing for the International team but they will each be playing in Bangkok.
