Meet LIV Golf's three new signings for 2026 season

LIV Golf added three wildcards to their 2026 roster at their Promotions event in the United States.

Former PGA Tour star and United States Ryder Cup member Anthony Kim was the highest-profile name to make it through the 72-hole event in Florida. 

Kim, who was relegated from the breakaway tour this season, was exempt into the second round and fired scores of 69, 66 and 69 to return to the PIF-backed league on the first attempt. 

An emotional Kim - who fired an expletive-laden message to his critics after rolling in his final putt - finished six strokes behind winner Richard T. Lee. 

Lee, from Canada, finished five strokes clear of Sweden's Bjorn Hellgren. 

Notable players who missed out on a LIV card included Lucas Bjerregaard but the Dane can take solace knowing he's fully exempt on the Asian Tour's International Series this season.

GolfMagic has decided to take a look at the three new additions to the LIV Golf League.
