"Branden Grace Among Top 20 Competitors in 36-Hole LIV Golf Promotions Finale"

South African golfer Branden Grace and Zimbabwean brothers Scott and Kieran Vincent are among the 20 players who have qualified for the final day of the LIV Golf Promotions event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The tournament began on Thursday, but Grace and the Vincents were among 29 players who were exempt into the second round on Friday. All three players were previously full-time members of LIV Golf but were relegated at the end of 2024.

Grace, a 15-time winner worldwide and former LIV event champion, is best known for being the first player to shoot a round of 62 at a major championship (2017 Open Championship).

Scott Vincent had the best round of the day at Riyadh Golf Club, shooting an impressive 8-under-par 63.

Only one of the Vincent brothers will be able to compete in the 2025 LIV Golf season; the top finisher after Saturday's 36-hole final will secure a spot for next season.

\"I obviously want him to do well,\" Scott Vincent said of his brother, \"but at the same time, I want to be one step ahead of him. I'm sure he wants the same thing.\"

Kieran Vincent shot a 65 on Friday, while Grace had a 66. Kieran Vincent earned a promotion into the league at this event last year when three spots were available.

The only American to qualify for the final day was Ollie Schniederjans, who won a playoff in three holes against five other players.

\"I want to compete against the best players in the world again,\" said Schniederjans, a former top-ranked amateur. \"I'm fully healthy now and I've been through a lot. I just want to prove myself again and have that opportunity.\"

Notable former LIV players who did not make the cut on Friday include Finland's Kalle Samooja and American wild card Hudson Swafford.
