Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm has explained why he has signed Rory McIlroy protege Tom McKibbin to his LIV Golf team after the Northern Irishman ignored his mentor's advice

Tom McKibbin is set to face a suspension from the PGA Tour, but the penalty won't take effect until he makes his first appearance on the LIV Golf circuit in Saudi Arabia next week. The Northern Irishman rounds off the LIV roster for 2025, having been signed by Jon Rahm and Legion XIII this Wednesday.

Twenty-two-year-old Tom McKibbin, who is currently 21st in the European Ryder Cup rankings, will join Rahm’s Legion XIII and play alongside him, Tyrrell Hatton, and Caleb Surratt. McKibbin hails from Northern Ireland and grew up playing at Holywood Golf Club, the same course Rory McIlroy played as a youth.
