RangeGoats GC’s Campbell back to defend title at International Series Morocco

Rabat, Morocco - RangeGoats GC's Ben Campbell will defend his International Series Morocco title at the prestigious Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat, as part of a strong field for the fourth event of The International Series season from July 3–6.

The New Zealander, who claimed a stunning playoff victory over LIV Golf reserve player John Catlin on the Red Course last year, will be joined once again by his American rival, with the six-time Asian Tour champion looking to go one better than last season when Campbell’s eagle-birdie finish reeled him in at the last.

2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel from South Africa, who helps lead Stinger GC, brings major credentials to the tournament while American Peter Uihlein, Campbell’s teammate on RangeGoats GC, will also pose a threat after claiming two victories on The International Series last season in England and Qatar.

HyFlyers GC player Andy Ogletree from the United States, the 2019 U.S. Amateur champion who progressed to LIV Golf after claiming the International Series Rankings title in 2023, is also in the field along with serial winner Jazz Janewattananond from Thailand, who won his seventh Asian Tour title at the inaugural edition of International Series Morocco in 2022.

For the 33-year-old Campbell, Morocco is more than just another stop on the calendar. It’s where his rise onto the LIV Golf League truly began.

His victory at International Series Morocco in 2024 proved pivotal, sparking a stellar season which included three top-five finishes towards the end of the campaign. That run of form caught the eye of two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson, who selected him to be part of RangeGoats GC.

“Returning to Morocco is incredibly special,” said Campbell. “Last year’s win really changed the trajectory of my career. The course, the energy there, it all came together for something unforgettable. I’m excited to be back and ready to defend the title.”

Campbell, who is a two-time winner on The International Series having claimed the Hong Kong Open in 2023, finished third on the International Series Rankings last year. He was also second on the Asian Tour Order of Merit behind Catlin.

He has been enjoying a strong debut season on the LIV Golf League, most noticeably finishing third at LIV Golf Singapore. Campbell currently sits 25th in the standings.

“Morocco has been a key destination for The International Series,” said Rahul Singh, Head of The International Series. “We have seen two incredible tournaments there, played on a world-class venue, offering genuine growth and development for the region’s top talent.

“The players love going there, and the atmosphere is starting to build as we approach the event. This year, with such a high-calibre field featuring stars from both the Asian Tour and LIV Golf, we expect another unforgettable week of golf that highlights the global appeal and prestige of The International Series.”

As the fourth of the 10 elevated events on the Asian Tour schedule, Morocco plays a vital role in the season-long race for the International Series Rankings which offer players a pathway to LIV Golf League.

The International Series Rankings champion is guaranteed a place on the roster for the 2026 LIV Golf season, while other high finishers earn a place on the LIV Golf Promotions event, which provides an alternative route onto the roster.

The International Series is also the eighth stop of the season on the Asian Tour. Three International Series events have been played so far, in India, Macau and Japan.
