Tom McKibbin, a 20-year-old golfer from Northern Ireland, has joined LIV Golf, a decision influenced by the financial incentives offered by the league rather than following in the footsteps of his compatriot Rory McIlroy, who has been critical of LIV Golf. McKibbin, who turned professional in 2023, has already shown promise by winning the European Open and securing a spot in the top 300 of the Official World Golf Ranking. His move to LIV Golf, where he will play for the Cleeks GC team, was motivated by the substantial financial rewards and the opportunity to compete against top players, despite the controversy surrounding LIV Golf's funding from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. This choice marks a significant career move for McKibbin, aiming to leverage the platform for further growth in his professional golf career.
