Tom McKibbin, a rising star in golf, is facing speculation about a potential move to LIV Golf. Despite his recent PGA Tour qualification, he is rumored to be joining Jon Rahm's team, raising questions about his future in professional golf.
Tom McKibbin declined to comment on reports linking him to a move to LIV Golf. The 22-year-old golfer has been rumored to join Jon Rahm 's Legion XIII team for 2025 for an estimated €8 million. This potential switch would see him join Tyrrell Hatton and Caleb Surratt on Rahm's team for the start of the LIV season in Riyadh on February 6.
McKibbin was questioned about the speculation in Abu Dhabi, where he is part of the Great Britain and Ireland team competing in the Team Cup, a preparatory event for the Ryder Cup. McKibbin emphasized his focus on the team event and his desire to contribute to their success. He also expressed his ambition to play in the Ryder Cup, acknowledging that a move to LIV could present a short-term obstacle due to eligibility rules. However, he noted that prominent European players, including Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry, support Rahm's participation in the Ryder Cup, leaving open the possibility of rule changes before the tournament
