The rumors in October have linked two big names to join LIV: Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele. If this happens, the PGA tour will suffer a loss, and joining LIV will be an enormous blow to PGA. However, LIV does not want to comment on the matter and has revealed no names. Besides, they also speculated Mito Pereira and Thomas Pieters about joining LIV.

Khosla is very particular about the new signees. He wants all the new players to join by the end of the year and settle in. In the coming months, the new joiners will be familiar with everything, and eventually, things will turn out well. He said, “We are going to get it done this year. We want the teams locked in by the new year. It will play itself out over the next couple of months.”
Joining LIV might benefit the players, as the tour is looking for broadcasters. Currently, the matches are only available online on YouTube and the tour’s website. But if they finally find a host, Cantlay and Schauffele will benefit from it.
