For those unaware, Tom McKibbin is considered to be one of the best young golfers in the world. Since turning professional in 2021, McKibbin has already registered two victories. His first win came in the Minor League Golf Tour in 2022, while his second win was on the European Tour as he won the Porsche European Open in 2023.
At Legion XIII, McKibbin will join captain Jon Rahm, and a pool of other talented golfers like Tyrrell Hatton and Caleb Surratt. He will also become the second golfer from Northern Ireland to play in LIV Golf. The first golfer from Northern Ireland to play in the Saudi-backed event is Smash GC's Graeme McDowell.
