LIV Renews Player Push as Two Recent PGA Tour Winners Enter Talks

The league presses on despite steep multi‑year losses plus an unresolved OWGR bid.

Overview

  • Golf Digest reports that representatives for two recent PGA Tour winners are discussing potential moves to LIV, with several mid‑tier players also weighing offers, though no names are confirmed.
  • LIV has not landed a direct PGA Tour signing since early 2024, when Tyrrell Hatton joined Jon Rahm’s team, and no new marquee defections are reported in this latest round of talks.
  • Fresh speculation on social media, including Aldrich Potgieter, remains unverified as the player continues competing on the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Fall.
  • Financial filings cited by The Athletic show LIV Golf Ltd. lost £461.8 million in 2024 and about £1.1 billion since 2022, yet the PIF‑backed circuit is hiring executives and has 11 events listed for 2026.
  • LIV’s second application for Official World Golf Ranking points, submitted June 30, 2025, is still unresolved, a key factor in the league’s credibility and player incentives as new PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp confronts fall recruiting pressure.
