00:00Three golfers earned wildcard spots at Live Golf Promotions.
00:05Three names, three journeys, and now three tickets punched to Live Golf 2026.
00:11The sun set on a fiercely contested promotions event at Black Diamond Ranch in Lakanto, Florida,
00:17where 22 players vied for only three coveted wildcard entries into Live Golf's next season.
00:23The intense 36-hole, no-margin format produced three standout players,
00:27each emerging with momentum and confidence to take the next step.
00:31Let's begin with Richard T. Lee, whose performance over four days left little doubt about his readiness.
00:37Lee, a 35-year-old Canadian with a steady game and cold-blooded precision,
00:42carded four straight rounds in the 60s, including a pair of 64s.
00:46He won the 36-hole shootout at 11-under by a five-shot margin,
00:50making a dominant statement and becoming the first Canadian to join Live Golf this season,
00:55adding talent and international appeal to the league.
00:58Then there's Bjorn Helgren, a name perhaps unfamiliar to many but no longer.
01:02Starting the final day, tied for 11th, the 35-year-old Swede delivered when it mattered most,
01:07birdieing his final hole to card a Sunday 64 and vault into solo second at 6-under.
01:12It was a surge that combined patience, grit, and a flair for the dramatic,
01:17exactly the kind of traits Live Golf thrives on.
01:19Helgren's rise may be the least expected of the trio, but his finishing kick was anything but accidental.
01:26And finally, Anthony Kim, a name that once held weight on the PGA Tour,
01:30and now continues to evolve under Live Golf's banner.
01:34At 40, Kim's journey is no longer about proving anything to critics.
01:37It's about resilience and revival.
01:40Shooting 66-69 over the weekend, Kim did enough to reclaim his wildcard spot for a third season,
01:46finishing third overall.
01:47His presence adds veteran savvy and name recognition to the Live roster,
01:52and his game, it seems, still has plenty of gas in the tank.
01:57Only three players earned wildcard spots while the top 10 gained exemptions into the 2026 Asian Tour
02:03International Series, feeding the Live Golf pipeline.
02:06The three newcomers add intrigue to Live Golf shifting from hopefuls to contenders.
