Another major PGA TOUR star may be on the brink of joining LIV—and the ripple effects could reshape both leagues.

In this week’s episode of The Golf Podcast we’ll break down the latest—and potentially most impactful—rumor in the ongoing PGA TOUR vs. LIV Golf saga this year.

Reports indicate that another major PGA TOUR player may be in late-stage talks with LIV Golf, and the implications go far beyond a simple signing. We discuss how Si Woo Kim has become the center of these negotiations, why his possible move could lead to Kevin Na being stripped of his LIV captaincy, and what it would mean for the newly rebranded Becko East team heading into the 2026 season.

We also dive into the speculation surrounding other big South Korean names like Sungjae Im and Tom Kim, what’s confirmed, what’s been debunked, and what still feels very much in play. From LIV’s push toward a more global team identity to the PGA TOUR’s potential reduced schedule, structural overhaul, and growing player frustration, we explore how these shifts may influence future defections.

We also touch on the swirling rumors about Brooks Koepka’s contract, the PGA TOUR’s reaction to LIV’s momentum, and how looming OWGR changes could reshape both leagues.

It’s a packed episode with breaking news, player reactions, and plenty of context to understand what this next wave of movement could mean for professional golf.
