The rumor mill is whirring again and now another PGA Tour star is reportedly in late-stage talks to move to LIV Golf…
It looks like LIV Golf are about to make their third and fourth big-name signings of the offseason.
With deals for Victor Perez joining Cleeks Golf Club and Laurie Canter’s return to Majesticks GC – in for the relegated Frederik Kjettrup and Henrik Stenson respectively – wrapped up, the league’s bosses have set their sights on filling more holes left from those finishing in this year’s Drop Zone.
Another of those players is Yubin Jang, who played on Kevin Na’s Iron Heads GC alongside Danny Lee and Jinichiro Kozuma but ended the season 52nd out of 54 in the standings.
And with LIV keen to base teams around a geographical identity, TG understands a deal is nearing completion with Si Woo Kim.
Kim has won four times on the PGA Tour – including the Players Championship in 2017 when, somewhat ironically, Louis Oosthuizen and Ian Poulter were runners-up – and played on three Presidents Cup teams.
The 30-year-old also made headlines at the 2023 Masters when he wore a PGA Tour-branded shirt while playing alongside Phil Mickelson.
Another South Korean player linked with a move to LIV Golf is two-time PGA Tour winner Sungjae Im, though TG has been told by a member of his team that there is “zero truth” in the rumors that he is set to join his two-time Presidents Cup teammate on the league.
Rumors first started swirling last month when Kim and Im applied for DP World Tour membership ahead of the 2026 season.
TG has reached out to LIV Golf for official comment.
Flushing It Golf, meanwhile, is reporting that LIV Golf’s recent trademark filings for new team names will be used to rebrand existing teams – with Iron Heads GC expected to become Becko East GC.
Sources indicate that the following franchises on the LIV Golf League could be re-branding in the 2026 season:
Fireballs GC – Real Club de Toros GC
Stinger GC – Southern Balindi GC or Southern Guards GC
Ironheads GC – Becko East GC https://t.co/6VZ5sCduFA pic.twitter.com/cIkvWnfeZA
