Tom McKibbin has officially joined the LIV Golf League to compete alongside notable players like Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, making his debut at the LIV Riyadh event. At 22, he reportedly signed a $5 million, three-year contract, although his decision was met with caution from Rory McIlroy, who advised him against leaving the PGA Tour, highlighting the loss of opportunities in majors and Ryder Cup qualifications. McKibbin had previously won a dual membership, which could have allowed him greater access to prestigious tournaments.
"I really like Tom as a person, as a player. I think he's got a ton of potential... If I were in your shoes, I would make a different choice than the one you're thinking of making."
"McKibbin... believed to have signed a $5million contract for three years... expected to take up his PGA Tour card after winning one of 10 dual memberships via the DP World Tour last year."
