THE GAME IS ON

27 May 2024

Big names in golf will vie for honours at Foxhills Club & Resort this August at the International Series England.

The stunning Foxhills Club & Resort in Surrey will host some of the biggest names in golf as the venue for International Series England, from 8-11 August 2024. Ryder Cup hero Ian Poulter, and Andy Ogletree who won the 2022 International Series Egypt will be on hand to vie for the top prize.

It is the third consecutive year that The International Series has taken the cream of the Asian Tour and a host of big-name players from the LIV Golf roster to England.

The course at Foxhills was designed by Fred Hawtree.

The US$2 million tournament will be the 10th event of 2024 on the Asian Tour and the fourth leg of The International Series – the schedule of 10 elevated events, sanctioned by the Asian Tour, that provide a merit-based open pathway to the LIV Golf League for players from all over the world.

Rahul Singh, Head of The International Series, said: “Returning to England for a third successive year underscores the continued growth and success of The International Series brand, and the prominent position that we now occupy in the global golfing ecosystem.

“As we have seen over the past two seasons, players from the Asian Tour and around the world love competing at the iconic locations The International Series travels to, and we are delighted to partner with Foxhills on such a fitting venue, to again deliver elite-level sport at a wonderful golfing destination.

“Bringing The International Series to Foxhills offers us a real opportunity to showcase the allure of our product to a cosmopolitan, sports-loving population in and around the London area.”

Andy Ogletree from the US will look to improve his record in The International Series, having won the International Series Egypt in 2022.

International Series England will be played on the esteemed Longcross Course, which consistently features in the UK top 100 rankings.

Combining parkland and heathland- style holes with a tree-lined layout featuring a number of eye-catching elevated tees, the course will provide a stern test for the elite field around 18 beautiful holes surrounded by Scots pine, beech and silver birch.

Foxhills also boasts the Bernard Hunt championship course as well as a par- three nine-hole Manor Course.

Managing Director Tej Walia of Foxhills Club & Resort said: “It’s an honour to host a world-class event of this nature at Foxhills, showcasing our venue and the talent of professionals at the very top of their game.

Englishman Ian Poulter adds star power to the roster.

“We have been working hard on elevating our product, both on and off the course, to position us as an attractive proposition for professional tournaments and brand partnerships. The selection as host venue is testament to the hard work of our team over the past few years and the investment of our owners to allow us to set new goals.

“The growth of the Asian Tour and The International Series has been ambitious and we are excited to be the next chapter of its journey as we look to take it to new heights for both the players and spectators, making it a marquee event on the schedule at Foxhills.

“With the size of the purse, our accessible location for international players and the reward of a place for the Series winner in next year’s LIV Golf League, we’re looking forward to seeing a strong field and an exciting week of golf on our newly renovated Longcross Course.”
