Overview

  • Golf Digest reports that representatives for two recent PGA Tour winners have discussed potential moves to LIV, with additional rank‑and‑file players exploring options.
  • No player names have been confirmed publicly, and social media speculation has filled the vacuum without verification.
  • Financial statements reported by The Athletic show LIV Golf Ltd. lost £461.8 million in 2024, bringing cumulative losses to about £1.1 billion, even as PIF capital injections continue.
  • LIV faces ongoing credibility hurdles, including no current OWGR points and a second rankings application filed on June 30, 2025, alongside a diminished presence near the top of the world rankings.
  • Five players were relegated after the latest LIV season, creating potential roster openings as PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp confronts renewed pressure to manage possible defections and reputational concerns.
