LIV Golf new players 2024: All Golfers who have joined this year

The golf world is on the verge of the 2024 LIV Golf season, which kicks off on Friday, February 2 at Mayakoba, Mexico. The circuit will have several new additions, including a new team and new players.

With less than 72 hours to go before the start of the season, not all the names that will make up the field are officially known yet, as there are still a few capacities to be filled. However, most of the new signings have already been made public.

Let's take a look at the new LIV Golf players.
