Who will John Catlin replace at LIV Golf Singapore? 18-hole qualifier winner’s spot explored

John Catlin will replace the injured Jinichiro Kozuma of Iron Heads GC for the LIV Golf Singapore, which will take place at the Sentosa Golf Club. Catlin won the 18-hole qualifying playoffs of LIV Golf to get a place on the LIV team, and it'll be his first 2025 LIV tournament after playing six LIV events last year.

The Flushing IT’s X page shared a video of Catlin from the LIV Golf qualifying round and wrote a caption that read:

“John Catlin came through an 18 hole qualifier for the opportunity to join Ironheads GC at LIV Golf Singapore this week, replacing the injured Jinichiro Kozuma. It’ll be John’s 1st LIV start of the season after an historic 2024 on the Asian Tour. Well deserved.”

Catlin expressed his thoughts to LIV Golf after getting the opportunity to play at LIV Golf Singapore. He shared:

“They’re kind of trying to shake things up – and this definitely shook us up…We weren’t ready for it. It’s a cool concept and, hey, I obviously liked it. I always love it when there's a chance where you can earn your spot. Because then, nobody can take it away from you. So, I loved having the chance. … I was ready to play. I knew I had to go out and play good golf from the start.”

The LIV Golf Singapore will take place from March 14 to 16.
