Tom McKibbin became the newest member of Legion XIII on Wednesday.
Captain Jon Rahm announced the selection over social media involving McKibbin, who replaced the relegated Kieran Vincent in joining the team along with England’s Tyrrell Hatton and America’s Caleb Surratt.
LIV Golf will launch its fourth season under the lights at Riyadh Golf Club in Saudi Arabia on Feb. 6-8.
McKibbin, 22, opted to join LIV Golf despite earning his PGA Tour card via the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai last fall. He was even cautioned against joining the upstart circuit a few months ago by his friend and fellow Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy.
McKibbin is ranked No. 106 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
He turned professional in 2021 and won the Porsche European Open in 2023. His best finish last year was a runner-up in the Italian Open, and McKibbin already has qualified for this year’s Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
