Branden Grace among 20 in 36-hole LIV Golf promotions final

las vegas branden grace

Branden Grace of South Africa and brothers Scott and Kieran Vincent of Zimbabwe are among the 20 players who qualified for the final day of the LIV Golf Promotions event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The event began Thursday, but Grace and the Vincents were among 29 players exempt into the second round Friday. All three are former full-time LIV Golf members who were relegated at the end of 2024.

A 15-time winner worldwide, including one LIV event, Grace’s claim to fame is as the first player to shoot a round of 62 at a major championship (2017 Open Championship).

Scott Vincent shot the best round of the day at Riyadh Golf Club, an 8-under-par 63.

There isn’t room enough for both Vincent brothers in the 2025 LIV Golf season; only the top finisher after Saturday’s 36-hole final will qualify for next season.

“Of course I want him to do really well,” Scott Vincent said of his brother, “but at the same time I want to be just one step ahead of him, and I’m sure he wants the exact same thing.”

Kieran Vincent shot a 65 Friday and Grace had a 66. Kieran Vincent earned a promotion into the league at this event last year, when three spots were available.

The only American to qualify for the final day was Ollie Schniederjans, who won a 6-for-1 tiebreaker in three playoff holes.

“I want to play against the best players in the world again,” said Schniederjans, a former top-ranked amateur. “I think I’m coming back to — I’m fully healthy. I’ve been through a lot, and I just want to prove myself again and get that opportunity.”

Among the former LIV players who did not play well enough Friday to move on were Finland’s Kalle Samooja and American wild card Hudson Swafford.

The 20 players headed into the 36-hole final day are as follows:

–Jack Buchanan, Australia
–Ben Campbell, New Zealand
–Gunn Charoenkul, Thailand
–Brett Coletta, Australia
–Branden Grace, South Africa
–Jeongwoo Ham, South Korea
–David Horsey, England
–Taichi Kho, Hong Kong
–Lee Chieh-Po, Taiwan
–Daihan Lee, South Korea
–Richard T. Lee, Canada
–Soomin Lee, South Korea
–Steve Lewton, England
–Suteepat Prateeptienchai, Thailand
–Max Rottluff, Germany
–Ollie Schniederjans, U.S.=
–Kieran Vincent, Zimbabwe
–Scott Vincent, Zimbabwe
–Borja Virto, Spain
–Jeunghun Wang, South Korea
