LIV Golf has reportedly made two new signings ahead of the 2024 campaign, which kicks off on 2 February in Mexico.
Per FlushingIt – who broke the news Jon Rahm was joining the breakaway last December – it is said ‘two new players’ have agreed terms and conditions with the rival league.
One golfer will be joining Martin Kaymer’s Cleeks, making an all-European side, and the other will fill a spot on Rahm’s team.
LIV will begin their third campaign in Mexico on 2 February but Rahm has yet to reveal who will be on his team yet.
It is anticipated one of the spots will be filled by the talented youngster Caleb Surratt.
Rahm’s side, reportedly called Legion XIII, are also likely to have one player who made their way onto LIV via their version of qualifying school.
England’s Tommy Fleetwood and Tyrrell Hatton have both recently confirmed they were targets for LIV.
Fleetwood appeared to reject the offer completely whereas Hatton seemed to be more open to the idea of a switch.
“As of right now, yeah,” Hatton told reporters in Dubai when asked if he was happy plying his trade on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.
It has also been reported Rahm had previously tried to recruit Tony Finau before the American poured cold water on the rumours by writing on X: “I’m not leaving.”
Reigning U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark was reportedly in discussions with LIV but that deal appeared to fall through.
Poland’s Adrian Meronk also sparked rumours he was going to join LIV after he was a late withdrawal from the Farmers Insurance Open.

I’m disgusted with pro golf these days. Seems that the ‘moral compass club’ membership is shrinking on a daily basis. I’ve lost repsect and regard for all who have sold themselves to LIV. I often see people shaking their heads and laughing at the LIV players, saying that all this does is show certain undesirable people (controllers of the LIV) how a wave of money under the nose can so easily seduce people into alter-ego behavior and lopsided priorities. LIV golfers… you’re all a bunch of sell-outs. You’ve sold your integrity and your golf soul. And Phil… who I used to hold in high regard… you’re the biggest disappointment to me (and many others, I know). It’s sad to see you so intoxicated by the money, power, and pseudo glory. The LIV legacy will never be one that exemplified integrity, respect, humility, and civility.
