Kyle Stanley trying different world tours

Two-time PGA Tour champion Kyle Stanley is seriously considering life on The International Series and the Asian Tour after declaring himself ‘impressed’ with the set up having immersed himself in the Jakarta International Championship, the fifth of nine elevated LIV Golf-backed events on the calendar.  Stanley is Pacific Northwest native and attended Bellarmine Prep High School.

Stanley has real pedigree. The American memorably won the prestigious Waste Management Phoenix Open in 2012 after making up an eight-shot gap in the final round, a week after letting a six-stroke lead slip going into the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open. He also won the Quicken Loans National five years later in a play-off against Charles Howell III, now of LIV Golf.

Before turning pro, he was a member of the US Walker Cup team featuring Dustin Johnson and Webb Simpson that beat a Great Britain & Ireland team featuring Rory McIlroy in County Down in 2007.

The 37-year-old was in the field for the fifth elevated Asian Tour event of the season on an invite and has loved the experience from start to finish. So much so, he’s considering a tilt at Asian Tour Q School this year, having received some sound advice from International Series India presented by DLF champion and compatriot Ollie Schniederjans.

He said: “This is only my fourth or fifth event this year, I haven’t really played much. I was really excited to have the opportunity to come over here.”
