Tom McKibbin, one of the young stars of the European game, officially signed a contract with Liv Golf, deciding to combine the strength of Legion XIII Jon Rahma.
The two -time Rahm main winner confirmed the expected move with a short post on social media.
“Tom McKibbin, Welcome to the band, let’s go,” said Rahm with clenched celebrations, when he confirmed that McKibbin would join him, Tyrrell Hatton and American Caleb Surratt in financed by Saudi Breakaway.
McKibbin will debut when Live Golf League starts the fourth season in Riyadh next week.
The 22-year-old won the PGA Tour card in November, but the debut season on the route with headquarters in the USA, despite Mcilroy’s advice.
He polished his match in the same club in Northern Ireland as Mcilroy, but ignored the world view No. 3 that the transition to Liv Golf is “not worth sacrificing”.
McKibbin, who shared a warm hug from Mcilroy after securing his PGA Tour card, called the main winner for four times for advice on a lucrative switch.
Mcilroy said: “There is so much money in the game, and some argue too much money in the game about the eyeballs that we attract.
“Despite this, regardless of the benefit, I do not think that it is worth sacrificing what is potentially undergoing.”
