LIV Golf look set for another shakeup as the 2025 season winds down, with the league eyeing more changes to their player roster.

While the initial wave included big names like Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson, Jon Rahm has been the only major signing since then that really stood out.

With player contracts winding down and some teams looking to freshen up their lineups, talk of new arrivals is heating up once again.

Golf Digest is now reporting that two recent PGA Tour winners could be among the next to make the move.

LIV Golf are believed to be looking to add more players for their 2026 season, with the PGA Tour once again serving as their primary focus.

Golf Digest reports that LIV are in discussions with two recent PGA Tour winners about a potential move. Additionally, several players nearing the end of their careers are reportedly exploring opportunities for a final lucrative contract.

At this stage, there have not been any names linked to LIV Golf’s plans just yet. But given that they are described as recent winners, they should still carry enough weight within golf circles to attract attention.

It is worth noting that these two players are not major champions and are not considered on the same level as someone like Jon Rahm.

This once again underscores LIV’s continued appeal to PGA Tour golfers. Depending on the names open to switch between tours, such a move could trigger another ripple effect, prompting others to follow suit.

Which PGA Tour players could be on LIV Golf’s radar?

It seems unlikely that we are talking about major stars like Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele or Rory McIlroy.

Given the tone of the reports, Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas probably are not in the frame either.

Even so, there are still plenty of possibilities. The term ‘recent winner’ is not exactly clear-cut, which leaves room for interpretation.

Kurt Kitayama, Ryan Fox and even someone as young as Aldrich Potgieter could fit the bill.

Looking beyond the top-tier names, players like Brian Harman, Brian Campbell and Ryan Gerard – who took the Barracuda Championship in July – also come to mind.

Right now, everything is still under wraps. But it should not be long before we find out who has made the jump, sparking another round of debates about where golf is headed these days.
