Tom McKibbin Joins LIV Golf, Opts Against PGA Tour Card
Posted : 30 January 2025
Tom McKibbin, the 22-year-old golfer from Northern Ireland, has officially joined LIV Golf, opting to forgo his PGA Tour card.
Despite being mentored by Rory McIlroy, McKibbin decided to leave the PGA Tour in favor of a lucrative move to the Saudi-backed circuit.
He will be part of Jon Rahm's LIV team, Legion XIII, which also includes Tyrrell Hatton, but will not earn world ranking points due to LIV events not being recognized.
McKibbin's decision could limit his playing options, but he may be banking on a future resolution between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf to open up more opportunities.
