THE world-class field assembled for International Series Philippines presented by BingoPlus has been further bolstered by the addition of two-time Major champion and former world No.1, Dustin Johnson.
Johnson will join fellow Major winners Bubba Watson, Patrick Reed, Charl Schwartzel, and Louis Oosthuizen for the eagerly awaited tournament which takes place at Sta. Elena Golf Club from 23 – 26 October 2025.

“What I love most about the game is that it takes me to places I might never have gone otherwise, and the Philippines is one of those places," the 46-year old said. "To be able to play in front of new fans, experience a different culture, and share the excitement of world-class golf in a country that’s still discovering the sport — that’s really special for me.”
International Series Philippines is the sixth of the nine elevated events on this season’s Asian Tour schedule, offering players from around the globe a direct pathway into LIV Golf through the season-long Rankings race.
Johnson, known for an unbeaten Ryder Cup record in five appearances, last appeared on The International Series at the 2024 PIF Saudi International and his comeback is set to electrify the fairways in the Philippines.
With an illustrious career to his name, the American's achievements include winning the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club with a four-under-par 276, and a sensational victory at the 2020 Masters , where he set a tournament record of 20-under-par.
He first rose to world No.1 in February 2017, holding the position for 64 consecutive weeks — the fifth-longest reign in history. He later reclaimed the top spot in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, spending more than 130 weeks in total as the world’s best golfer.
Beyond the Majors, Johnson has been a trailblazer in the new era of the game, joining LIV Golf as one of its earliest stars. He secured victory at the LIV Golf Invitational Boston, and captained 4Aces GC to the Team Championship title while also claiming the Individual Season Championship in LIV Golf’s inaugural season.
This season, the American has continued to deliver consistently, with five top-10 finishes, including a strong third-place performance in Indianapolis.
