Rory McIlroy confirmed in a conversation with the media that he received several phone calls from this golfer, who had doubts about becoming part of LIV Golf.

Jon Rahm ’s social media post welcoming McKibbin to his Legion XIII team for the upcoming LIV campaign was simple and to the point. “It’s official. Welcome to Legion XIII, @tommckibbin!” came the post from the Spaniard, with an accompanying video which showed Rahm clenching both fists in acquiring his newest member.

Tom McKibbin seals his switch to LIV Golf in what will be a lucrative move for the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland.
