As the 2025 golf season draws to a close, LIV Golf appears poised to take another bold step despite mounting financial challenges. Reports indicate that two recent PGA Tour winners are currently in talks to join LIV for the 2026 season, indicating that the Saudi-backed league is not done reshaping the professional golf landscape.
After bursting onto the scene with megastars like Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson, LIV’s player signings have slowed in recent years. Aside from Jon Rahm’s blockbuster signing, few additions have made headlines. But with contracts expiring and team rosters changing, LIV is once again looking to the PGA Tour for new faces.
According to reports, the two unnamed players have both claimed PGA Tour victories in recent months. While neither is a major champion, their recent success gives them enough name recognition to make an impact. There are also rumors that several other players nearing the end of their careers are exploring LIV as a potential ‘final payday’.
The timing of this recruitment drive comes as LIV Golf is facing significant financial pressure. New reports show that the league lost approximately $461 million in 2024 alone, bringing total losses since launch to more than $1.1 billion. Despite generating solid revenue from select events – such as the successful stop in Adelaide – LIV continues to burn cash as it strives for sustainability and global relevance.
Yet money problems have not stopped LIV’s ambitions. Rumors continue to swirl around potential targets like Kurt Kitayama, Ryan Fox and Aldrich Potgieter, while mid-range winners like Brian Harman, Brian Campbell or Ryan Gerard could also be in contention.
Whether this next wave of signatures can reignite interest – or simply widen LIV’s financial hole – remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the tug-of-war between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour is not over yet.
