Report: Multiple PGA Tour winner replaced at LIV Golf

Kevin Na's time with LIV Golf appears to be over, according to a report. 

The five-time PGA Tour winner was among the first wave of players to be recruited by the PIF-backed breakaway in 2022 alongside the likes of Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Cameron Smith. 

He was named as the team captain of the IronHeads but LIV confirmed on Monday that the franchise has been re-branded to Korean Golf Club for the upcoming season. 

At the time of writing, their roster still includes Na, New Zealand's Danny Lee, Japan's Jinichiro Kozuma and South Korea's Yubin Jang.

But Mael Business Newspaper are reporting that there will be wholesale changes made so the franchise can directly align with the South Korean market. 

We know that Jang is out as he finished in the relegation zone last season. 

The rest all finished in the "open zone", meaning that they were vulnerable to being replaced. 

The publication report that Na hasn't had his contract renewed and will be replaced by PGA Tour veteran Ben An.

The 34-year-old, who has Presidents Cup experience, has been spotted this week at LIV's media event in Florida to promote their new season. 

An's teammates will reportedly be Minkyu Kim and Younghan San. Lee has retained his spot. 

Kim previously made an appearance for LIV as a reserve.  

We will have to wait to hear the official announcement later this week, but we have been given some clues that Na's time is up. 

Amid reports of discontent a few weeks ago, Na quietly stopped following LIV Golf on Instagram. 

Kozuma also took to X on Tuesday, posting:

Have LIV Golf signed any other players?

LIV Golf have only announced two player signings this winter. 

England's Laurie Canter has given up a PGA Tour card in favour of a return with the all-English Majesticks. 

The quartet is skippered by European Ryder Cup legends Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood. 

Elsewhere, France's Victor Perez has joined Martin Kaymer's Cleeks, replacing the relegated Fred Kjettrup. 

The Times of London have reported Belgium's Thomas Detry and Australia's Elvis Smylie are the latest additions, although there has been no official announcement yet. 

Phil Mickelson needs to replace former U.S. Amateur champion Andy Ogletree on the HyFlyers. 

Mickelson was reportedly interested in signing fellow lefty Akshay Bhatia. 

According to the Golf Channel, Bhatia turned down a "lucrative" offer to join LIV. 

It was also reported that the aforementioned IronHeads attempted to recruit former Players Championship winner Si-Woo Kim, but the golfer rejected the switch and pledged to tee it up in the Sony Open this week. 

The league are also yet to name Koepka's replacement.
