The fifth of the Asian Tour’s International Series events is the Black Mountain Championship in Thailand.
Like the previous four events in the series, the prize money payout is $2m. The winner will claim $360,000 with the runner-up in line for a $220,000 windfall.
The International Series offers significantly more than elevated prize money. At the end of its 10 events, the player at the top of the rankings will earn a coveted place in the 2025 LIV Golf League with guaranteed prize money for appearing in each event along with the potential for life-changing earnings.
Even players who finish between second and eighth in the rankings will give themselves a good chance of joining LIV Golf as they’ll be exempt into the second round of the LIV Golf Promotions event, which awards contracts to the top three on the tournament’s leaderboard.
Below is the prize money payout for the Black Mountain Championship.

Who Are The Star Names In The Black Mountain Championship?
Much of the attention will be on the appearances of two golf influencers among the 150-player field, Luke Kwon and Tae-Wook Koh, aka Taco Golf.
The duo are in the field as the Asian Tour seeks to grow the game, with commissioner and CEO Cho Minn Thant explaining their appearance offers “a way in which we can grow the game and grow our audience while gaining better brand awareness through different mediums including the influencer space."
The former member of Good Good has also played on the PGA Tour China, where he won the 2019 Qinhuangdao Championship, as well as the Korn Ferry Tour and the PGA Tour Latinoamerica.
New Zealander Koh has over 250,000 followers and subscribers across his social media channels and has previously played on the PGA Tour of Australasia. He was also the 2021 New Zealand PGA Champion.
Other big names in the field include John Catlin, who impressed as a LIV Golf reserve this year, finishing 53rd on the Money List after winning over $1.6m despite only making six appearances.
He’s in best-placed to claim a full-time LIV Golf contract at the end of the season too, as he stands on top of the International Series rankings. Another LIV Golf reserve, Ben Campbell, is second on the list and also plays.
Other LIV golfers in the field include Range Goats GC’s Peter Uihlein and Iron Heads GC’s Jinichiro Kozuma. Kieran Vincent and Scott Vincent, who both finished the season in LIV Golf’s Drop Zone, also play.
The International Series is a LIV Golf-backed group of 10 elevated events during the Asian Tour season, which offers a pathway to the big-money circuit.
