Tony Finau says LIV Golf rumors not true; WD due to surgery

Tony Finau

Tony Finau cleared the air Wednesday amid rumors that he was leaving the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf, Golfweek reported Wednesday.

Finau withdrew from this week’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas and was not yet registered to play at The Sentry, the 2025 season-opening event at Maui next month. That fueled false rumors that the No. 26 player in the world was leaving the PGA Tour.

In a conversation with Golfweek, Finau said Wednesday that his absence in the Bahamas this weekend is due to a recent “standard” cleanup procedure to repair a torn meniscus and remove cartilage in his left knee. He previously had a similar issue with his right knee.

The additional recovery time this week will indeed allow Finau, 35, to be ready for The Sentry from Jan 2-5 at Kapalua, Hawaii.

“I’m more than happy where I’m at on the PGA Tour and looking forward to 2025,” Finau told Golfweek. “When I tee it up in Maui, (the rumors) will all go away, so I don’t worry about it one bit.”

In 22 events in 2024, Finau did not record a tournament victory but had one runner-up finish, five top 10s, and 15 events where he finished in the top 25. He finished the season No. 23 in the FedEx Cup standings.

Since 2015, Finau has six tournament victories, with 11 runner-up finishes while making $43.1 million in earnings. Finau has not won a major tournament but has a top-five finish in all four majors, including third-place finishes in the 2024 U.S. Open and the 2019 Open Championship.
