In the third season of LIV Golf, viewers will meet a number of new people. The Saudi Arabian circuit, supported by PIF, is getting ready to kick off its 2024 season this week with the Mayakoba tournament.
There will probably be more shocks and a larger field in the upcoming season. Thirteen teams, each with four players, will compete on the circuit this year.
The circuit’s lineup has become the buzz of the town as the season’s premiere event approaches. Jon Rahm is scheduled to play this week after joining LIV Golf last month. In addition, Tyrrell Hatton left the PGA Tour to play for LIV Golf.
The following five players have signed with LIV Golf in advance of the 2024 season.
Top 5 golfers who signed with LIV Golf before the 2024 season
1. Jon Rahm
Last month, Jon Rahm, the 2023 Masters winner, startled the golf world by announcing his transfer to LIV Golf. According to reports, the Spanish golfer agreed to a $550 million contract to compete on the breakaway circuit. As the leader of Legion XIII, the new team in the series, he will be competing on LIV Golf.
The highest-ranked golfer to date to sign with LIV Golf is Jon Rahm.
2. The Tyrrell Hatton
Tyrrell Hatton joined LIV Golf, following Jon Rahm’s strategy. The Telegraph claims that after Rahm convinced him to go, the English golfer inked a $63 million contract with LIV Golf. This week, he will take the pitch alongside Rahm’s Legion XIII squad at the Mayakoba event.
3. Adrian Meronk
Adrian Meronk, a Polish golfer, has also signed with LIV Golf. Rumours surfaced a few weeks ago after Meronk dropped out of the Farmers Insurance Open, claiming to have signed a contract with LIV Golf. It is known that he went to the LIV series now that the circuit’s roster is public. The Cleeks GC player Meronk will play.
4. Kalle Samooja
Kalle Samooja won the LIV Golf Promotions event, earning his place on the breakaway circuit. His new team is Cleeks GC.
Samooja began competing professionally in 2010 and has since won 12 professional events. His other triumphs were on local tours; he has won one tournament on the Challenge Tour and one event on the European Tour.
