\t\t\t\tExperienced presenter Henni Zuel will join the LIV Golf broadcast team. <\/p>\n

While we wait for news of any player signings at LIV Golf, the league has added a new face to its broadcast team.<\/p>\n

Henni Zuel, a former Ladies European Tour player turned presenter, has most recently worked for Sky Sports after a stint with Golf TV, where she worked closely with Tiger Woods on a miniseries called Wayward Drives.<\/p>\n

Zuel will begin her new role at the first LIV Golf event of 2026<\/a>, which takes place in Saudi Arabia in February, and will anchor pre-show coverage as well as delivering on-air analysis throughout what are now four-day events<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a short press release announcing the news, Zuel said joining LIV Golf will enable her to draw on her experience as a commentator and former player \u201cwhile contributing to the wider mission of expanding awareness and driving positive global change within the game\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cChallenge has always guided my career, and I\u2019m drawn to environments that encourage curiosity, innovation, and a genuine sense of purpose,\u201d the 35-year-old added. <\/p>\n

\u201cLIV Golf is at the forefront of redefining how the sport is experienced, powered by elite athletes and leaders who embrace meaningful progress \u2013 a vision that strongly resonates with me. My passions \u2013 golf, technology, creativity, and forward thinking are all reflected in this role.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her playing days, Zuel represented England at amateur level and, at 13, became the youngest player to ever compete on the LET. She turned pro at the age of 18 and enjoyed seven years on tour before swapping her clubs for a microphone. <\/p>\n

\"Henni<\/p>\n

Chris Heck, LIV Golf\u2019s president of business operations, said: \u201cHenni brings exceptional journalistic experience and the credibility of a former professional player, enhancing the depth and quality of our coverage and strengthening our commitment to delivering a broadcast that is innovative, informed, and globally resonant.<\/p>\n

\u201cLIV Golf\u2019s two-story format \u2013 where team identity and individual performance build simultaneously \u2013 requires the ability to illuminate both narratives with clarity and sophistication. <\/p>\n

\u201cHenni\u2019s instincts, intuition, and commitment to modern storytelling make her an ideal voice for this new era. She embodies the professionalism, energy, and vision shaping the game, and her passion for integrating technology will help redefine how golf is experienced around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Experienced presenter Henni Zuel will join the LIV Golf broadcast team.
