Every New LIV Golfer Confirmed For 2025

The LIV Golf League will have a number of new players for 2025, with six fresh additions made in the LIV Golf transfer window.

The 2025 season begins next week in Riyadh, where 13 teams of four plus possible wildcards will contest for the Individual and Team titles throughout the season.

The six new names consist of the LIV Golf Promotions winner and five signings that have been scouted by teams and their captains, and they've shown a trend that LIV Golf is looking for young, up-and-coming talent.

Get to know LIV Golf's six new players for 2025...

Chieh-po Lee

Chieh-po Lee booked his spot on the lucrative tour after winning December's Promotions event in Saudi Arabia.

Lee finished at 10-under-par to beat Branden Grace and Taichi Kho by two strokes at Riyadh Golf Club.

The 30-year-old Taipei golfer has been a pro since 2015 and won the Asian Tour's International Series Thailand event in 2024, his second win as a professional after lifting the Yeangder TPC crown in 2021.

Lee will not be on a team this year so will likely play as a wildcard alongside Anthony Kim.

Yubin Jang

Another Asian talent joining the circuit this year is Korea's Yubin Jang, who was specifically sought out by Iron Heads GC captain Kevin Na as a replacement for the relegated Scott Vincent.

Jang is just 22 and only turned pro in late 2023 after winning gold for the South Korean team at the 2023 Asian Games, which has made him exempt for military service. He also won on the Korean Tour as an amateur.

In his first full year as a pro in 2024, Jang won the Korean Tour's money list and Player of the Year title thanks to two victories and five runner-up finishes.

He looks set to be a star of the future.

Frederik Kjettrup

Denmark's Frederik Kjettrup has joined LIV Golf for 2025, where he'll replace the relegated Kalle Samooja and play for Martin Kaymer's Cleeks GC team.

Kjettrup is another promising youngster, having only turned pro in 2024 after a successful college career at Florida State University. He won three college titles and numerous other amateur crowns before joining the paid ranks.

And after turning pro, he won three times on the PGA Tour Americas, which he earned status for thanks to an 8th-place finish in the 2023 PGA Tour University rankings.

Ben Campbell

Two-time Asian Tour winner Ben Campbell has joined RangeGoats GC in place of Thomas Pieters, who left for Dustin Johnson's 4Aces GC.

Campbell won the 2023 Hong Kong Open and 2024 International Series Morocco and played in three LIV events last year as a reserve player.

The 33-year-old finished 3rd in the 2024 International Series Order of Merit to narrowly miss out on automatically qualifying for the league after losing in a playoff at the 2023 LIV Golf Promotions event.

Luis Masaveu

After Eugenio Chacarra parted company with Sergio Garcia's Fireballs GC after the 2024 season, it left an open spot on the team, and it's another young Spaniard, 22-year-old Luis Masaveu, who has stepped into the position.

The Madrid-born star turned professional in October following a hugely impressive amateur career that included reaching the semi-finals of last year's US Amateur and taking the low amateur honors twice at the Spanish Open on the DP World Tour. He also won the 2023 Tailhade Cup and the 2024 Portuguese Amateur.

Masaveu made the cut at the 2024 Open at Royal Troon, too and, though he missed out on a contract via the LIV Golf Promotions event in December, that eye-catching amateur form was enough for Garcia to hand him his chance.

Tom McKibbin

Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin is another 22-year-old to join the league for 2025 and is arguably the league's most established new signing this season.

McKibbin, the 2023 Porsche European Open champion, has signed with Jon Rahm's Legion XIII side to replace the relegated Kieran Vincent.

The former Holywood GC player went against his idol Rory McIlroy's advice to forego his PGA Tour card and join the 54-hole team tour this year.

Which LIV Golfers Have Been Re-Signed?

Bubba Watson and Branden Grace have both been kept on for 2025 despite finishing last year's campaign in the Drop Zone, but why is that?

Even though both players were out of contract at the end of the 2024 season, they could continue their LIV Golf careers if a business case for keeping them on was made and accepted.

In Watson's case, it was likely a fairly straightforward decision as the captain of RangeGoats GC, while he remains a high-profile presence having won The Masters twice and enjoying a vibrant social media profile.

As for Grace, Stinger GC captain Louis Oosthuizen revealed there had been no hesitation in the decision, explaining: "Not for one second did we think of anyone else."
