With 2026 around the corner, LIV Golf has been preparing for significant changes.\u00a0 These include the format shift as well as a change in its roster<\/a>.\u00a0 The ladder is always subject to rumors, given the league\u2019s position in the golf world.\u00a0 During this transitional period, these rumors should be examined and either confirmed, denied, or neither.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Laurie Canter Returns To LIV Golf<\/p>\n

During the last week of November, Laurie Canter had finally achieved his goal for the year and earned his PGA Tour Card.\u00a0 Not long after, there were rumors that he was about to sign a new contract with LIV Golf.<\/a>\u00a0 Those rumors were confirmed, and now Canter is joining the Majesticks GC for 2026.\u00a0 Canter would make the following statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoining Majesticks GC is an incredible opportunity to be part of a team that has helped shape LIV Golf from day one,\u201d said Canter. \u201cTo return to the league with Majesticks GC is a huge honour, and they bring a standard of excellence, ambition, and identity that really resonates with me. I can\u2019t wait to get started and contribute to what this team is building.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooks Koepka Coming Or Going?<\/p>\n

Brooks Koepka was one of the early signees for LIV Golf, and early in 2025, he was one of the players rumored to be leaving, along with Bryson DeChambeau.\u00a0 Those earlier rumors have been disproven, but another similar one came up around Koepka.\u00a0 This rumor is that he will be sitting out for 2026 despite still being on contract for the season.\u00a0 Koepka hasn\u2019t made any statements on this, but LIV Golf CEO Scott O\u2019Neill has given the Sports Business Journal a statement.<\/a>\u00a0 Unfortunately, his statement only reconfirms one part of the rumor, that Koepka is still on contract for the season.<\/p>\n

Si Woo Kim Being Approached By LIV<\/p>\n

Back in October, rumors were going around that there were three people being considered for a LIV contract.\u00a0 Two of the three were rumored to be PGA Tour winners.\u00a0 One player whose name was thrown out as a theory was Min Woo Lee.\u00a0 He promptly denied the rumors<\/a> and reaffirmed his commitment to the PGA.\u00a0 However, recently, there were rumors that Si Woo Kim would be joining LIV Golf.\u00a0 It was even confirmed by Flushing It that he was approached and offered a contract.\u00a0 Just recently, though, it was revealed that Kim has rejected the offer.\u00a0 As reported by Flushing It<\/a> in a tweet.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true that Kim Si-woo, like many Korean players, has been offered a recruitment. However, Kim Si-woo finally expressed his intention to refuse and decided to remain on the PGA Tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

LIV Golf In 2026<\/p>\n

For the 2026 season, the league is making moves to make itself more appealing to a wider audience.\u00a0 LIV Golf is working to be more enticing for more players with the recent moves towards OWGR points<\/a>.\u00a0 The league\u2019s recruitment strategy always gains some attention during the off-season, and the players are a vital part of its survival.\u00a0 Rumors are bound to circulate, even if it\u2019s just the league reaching out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
