LIV Golf and HSBC have wrapped up the inaugural HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong at the Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling, leaving a significant social and environmental impact. The event, which concluded on 8 March 2026, featured a range of initiatives under the "LIV to Learn" platform, aimed at increasing golf participation, promoting youth education, and advancing sustainability.
A highlight of the week was the "Classroom on the Range" programme, where 30 local students swapped traditional classrooms for the fairways of Fanling. This initiative focused on STEM learning, agronomy, and biodiversity, using the golf course as a living laboratory. Carlos Ortiz from Torque GC led a hands-on golf clinic, mentoring students on resilience and well-being. Jake Jones, LIV Golf's SVP of Impact & Sustainability, remarked, "Seeing the curiosity in these students as they explored the blend of both nature and technology on the golf course was an amazing highlight of this week."
In celebration of International Women’s Day, LIV Golf hosted a panel discussion featuring Victoria Hawksley and Emily Soldano, focusing on sustainable career growth for women in golf. Hawksley emphasised the importance of diversity in sport, stating, "It's about embracing everybody's diversity and being able to show where we can add real value in sport."
The tournament also engaged the local community, with LIV Golf Wild Card players visiting the Salvation Army Centaline Charity Fund Queen’s Hill School. Additionally, a Special Olympics golf clinic was held, ensuring inclusivity.
Environmentally, the event set a benchmark by eliminating regular diesel usage, powering the Fan Village and Media Centre with 100% HVO biofuel. Jones added, "Our goal was to leave the Hong Kong Golf Club in even better condition than we found it."
