The LIV Golf League will have a number of new players for 2025, with three fresh additions added so far and potentially more on the way.
The 2025 season begins in early February, where 13 teams of four plus possible wildcards will contest for the Individual and Team titles across the season.
The three new names consist of the LIV Golf Promotions winner and two signings that have been scouted out by teams and their captains, and they’ve shown a trend that LIV Golf is looking for young, up-and-coming talent.

Chieh-po Lee booked his spot on the lucrative tour after winning December’s Promotions event in Saudi Arabia.
Lee finished at 10-under-par to beat Branden Grace and Taichi Kho by two strokes at Riyadh Golf Club.
The 30-year-old Taipei golfer has been a pro since 2015 and won the Asian Tour’s International Series Thailand event in 2024, his second win as a professional after lifting the Yeangder TPC crown in 2021.
Lee has yet to be drafted to a team. He may play as a wildcard this year or join one of the sides in the next few weeks.

Another Asian talent joining the circuit this year is Korea’s Yubin Jang, who was specifically sought out by Iron Heads GC captain Kevin Na.

In his first full year as a pro in 2024, Jang won the Korean Tour’s money list and Player of the Year title thanks to two victories and five runner-up finishes.
