8 LIV Stars We Can’t Wait to See Return to PGA as New Rumors Emerge on Saudi League’s Death

Katie Goodale-Imagn Images It wasn’t that long ago that the PGA Tour seemed in serious trouble and was forced to agree to a merger with its rival, LIV Golf , to avoid financial collapse. However, the legendary league played the long game, made some smart moves, and now it seems like the Saudi Arabia-backed league is on its deathbed. Over the last few weeks, rumors emerged that the Saudi Public Investment Fund was planning to pull their funding of a league that has lost hundreds of millions of dollars since it was founded five years ago.

That was confirmed on Thursday when LIV announced the PIF was officially out after this season, and they would be forming a new independent board to seek future funding. Furthermore, ESPN reported Wednesday that LIV players have already begun back-channel talks on the pathways to the PGA because they are also under the impression that the end is near for the young league. If this does end up being LIV’s final season, let’s look at eight players we can’t wait to see jump to the PGA next season.

Bryson DeChambeau Katie Goodale-Imagn Images Bryson DeChambeau is one of the top names PGA fans want to see return to the tour that made him a star. The two-time major winner is one of the most popular players in the sport (he has close to 3 million subscribers for his YouTube channel) and has been playing at his best over the last couple of years, including a US Open win in 2024. He would be a huge return for the Tour.

Jon Rahm Michael Madrid-Imagn Images Jon Rahm left the PGA at the height of his powers a couple of years ago, and nothing has changed as he has dominated LIV over the last two seasons. To truly be the best golf league on the planet, you must have the best players. Bringing the 2023 Masters winner back would solidify that fact because the Spaniard is still among the elite golfers on Earth.
