LIV Golf 2024 teams: Full list of teams and golfers after Tyrrell Hatton and Adrian Meronk’s confirmed move
Tyrrell Hatton's signing with LIV Golf has injected a wave of excitement into Jon Rahm's newly formed team. This development, coming just days before the Mayakoba event, marks the completion of the Spanish professional golfer's team lineup.
Rahm has enlisted Hatton to play alongside him on his team, Legion XIII. His squad also features top amateur, Caleb Surratt as well as Keiran Vincent, who has showcased his skills in LIV Promotions events. LIV Golf Updates recently shared this announcement on their social media handles. They also highlighted that the league would be granting two spots to a few players to participate in each event for their third season.
Cleeks GC squad had only two players before including Martin Kaymer and Richard Bland. However, Adrain Meronk has now officially joined the team. It is important to note that the European star had a great season last year on the DP World Tour and even earned a PGA Tour card to play this season. Nonetheless, he chose to play for the Saudi-backed league.
Lucas Herbert recently joined Cam Smith's Rippers GC gear. With this latest addition, the team now has all Australian players. Meanwhile, the two-time Japan Tour winner Jinichiro Kozuma has signed a deal with the Ironhead GC team for the third edition of the LIV Golf Season.
For the upcoming Mayakoba event, the potential contenders include Hudson Swafford, Laurie Canter, and Anthony Kim, who is making a comeback to the golf world after a hiatus.
Additionally, earlier this month, Kalle Samooja was reported to have joined the Cleeks GC. However, nothing was confirmed back then. Now, recent development confirms that the Finnish Golfer has joined the roaster and is expected to play in the LIV league.
