The International Series Qatar is the penultimate event of the International Series and the Asian Tour calendar. There are 18 LIV Golf players in the field, and all of them made the cut after the first 36 holes.
The group includes two LIV Golf reserve players as well as Anthony Kim, who played in the 2024 season thanks to a wild card. There is no word yet on whether Kim will return for 2025.

The RangeGoats GC player carded a second round of one eagle, seven birdies, and one bogey for an 8-under 64, which propelled him into the first place by two strokes. With this performance, Peter Uihlein backed up his first-day score (six birdies and two bogeys).
Uihlein is seeking his second International Series victory after winning the event in England. He has four top-10 finishes in six events this season.

Oosthuizen alone in 8th, four tied for 10th
