LIV Golf to acquire 2 PGA Tour golfers as many other names from the tour eye a move

LIV Golf is reportedly in talks to sign two recent PGA Tour winners, while several other players are also considering a potential switch to the Saudi-backed league. The news comes as LIV aims to strengthen its roster after dropping multiple players last season.

According to the post shared by Nuclr Golf on X, Golf Digest reported that the two winners’ representatives are in discussions with LIV, though none of them are big-name signings. The report also noted that other “rank-and-file” PGA Tour players are seeking one last payday before considering a move to LIV Golf.

"Representatives of two recent tour winners are in discussions with LIV. Other rank-and-file names are angling for one last career payday. None of them is a high-profile get—Jon Rahm remains the only major star to defect in four years—but they are recognizable enough to trigger another cycle of "What is the state of the game?" handwringing,” Golf Digest wrote.

Here are the PGA Tour winners from the past ten events:

Scottie Scheffler – Procore Championship
Tommy Fleetwood – Tour Championship
Justin Rose – FedEx Jude Championship
Cameron Young – Wyndham Championship
Brian Campbell – John Deere Classic
Chris Gotterup – Genesis Scottish Open
William Mouw – ISCO Championship
Ryan Gerard – Barracuda Championship
Kurt Kitayama – 3M Open
Steven Fisk – Sanderson Farms Championship

Last season, LIV Golf dropped players such as Henrik Stenson, Andy Ogletree, Mito Pereira, Jubin Yang, Frederik Kjettrup, and Anthony Kim. Now the league is looking to bring in new players to fill those spots for the next season.
