LIV’s Iron Heads sign No. 1 Korean player Yubin Jang

Yubin Jang, Iron Heads

LIV Golf has yet to officially poach a marquee name away from the PGA Tour ahead of the 2025 season, but the Iron Heads Golf Club did announce the signing of Yubin Jang, the No. 1 golfer on the Korean Tour, on Tuesday.

Jang, 22, will join captain Kevin Na’s team, which has also re-signed Danny Lee and Jinichiro Kozuma.

Jang is a three-time winner on the Korean Tour, where he is coming off a season in which he led the tour’s money list while also posting the most top-10 finishes.

“As a promising young talent from Korea, I’ve been following his career for years and have had my eye on him to join the team,” Na said in a statement. “The Iron Heads needed young talent like his to push our veterans, and I’m confident he has what it takes to become a world-class golfer.

“Yubin’s presence shows young Korean golfers a clear path to competing globally against the best, and with an event in Korea this year, his addition is a major boost for our team. It’s an incredibly exciting time for Korean golf!”

Iron Heads entered this year’s team championship as the lowest seed, but upset the top-seeded Crusher GC en route to tying for second behind Cam Smith’s Ripper GC.

With its 2025 roster now set, the Iron Heads will begin their two-week training camp in Palm Springs, Calif., ahead of the season-opening event at LIV Golf Riyadh from Feb. 6-8.

“We’re thrilled to re-sign Danny and Jini, who were pivotal to our strong finish last season,” Iron Heads general manager Martin Kim said. “Danny is a proven winner in this league with great energy and Jini’s emerging talent will be essential as we strive to become a contender at every event.

I’m really loving our roster with the addition of our new young gun (Jang). It’s going to be a fun ride next season.”
