  • Rising star of Irish golf Tom McKibbin looks set for a sensational switch to LIV Golf. According to reports on the website TenGolf.com, the 22-year-old from Newtownabbey is a leading candidate to join the team captain by Spain's Jon Rahm in the controversial breakaway golf competition.

Tom McKibbin, a 20-year-old Northern Irish golfer who recently won his first DP World Tour title at the European Open, is reportedly being considered for a move to LIV Golf. This potential shift comes as LIV Golf, backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, continues to attract top talent from traditional tours with lucrative offers. McKibbin's impressive performance, where he finished at 9-under par to win by two strokes, has evidently caught the attention of LIV Golf, which is known for its innovative approach to the sport including no-cut events and team formats. However, any move would need to navigate the complex landscape of professional golf, including potential sanctions from the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, which have historically opposed LIV Golf's operations.
