MANILA, Philippines — Miguel Tabuena narrowly missed a coveted promotion to LIV Golf as he settled for joint 11th in the season-ending PIF Saudi International Saturday in Riyadh.
Tabuena needed to place at least sixth in the $5-million season-ending event to crack the Top 2 of the International Series Rankings and seal a golden ticket to next year’s LIV Golf but his closing two-under 69 at the Riyadh Golf Club wasn’t enough to get him through.
At 271 overall, the Pinoy ace fell one shot short of a 270 card that could’ve placed him in a share of fifth with Australians Lukas Herbert and Jason Kokrak, South African Branden Grace, Englishman Tyrell Hatton, American Anthony Kim and Polish Adrian Meronk.
Tabuena was hoping to overtake Yosuke Asaji, the second-running Japanese in the IS Rankings, who failed to make the cut in Riyadh.
