LIV Golf signings have slowed in recent years, with the last major additions, Jon Rahm and Gary McCord, signing nearly two years ago in December 2023. However, in the past week, LIV has added Victor Perez and presenter Henni Zuel.
“Joining Cleeks Golf Club for the 2026 season feels like joining golf’s next great chapter, as this club continues to push boundaries, perform at the highest level, and bring fresh energy and vision to the game,” Perez said.

Perez will join The Cleeks, replacing relegated member Frederik Kjettrup. He made his announcement shortly after withdrawing from the RSM Classic. At the time, Perez was ranked 108th on the PGA Tour and risked losing his playing status.
“The sport’s growth has been incredible, and LIV Golf’s innovation and energy are driving it forward. I’m excited to be part of that momentum and can’t wait to get started in Riyadh.”

Zuel will join LIV Golf’s broadcast team after her broadcasting work with Sky Sports and GolfTV. She is perhaps best known for her in-depth interview series with Tiger Woods during COVID and her reporting during Rory McIlroy’s 2025 Masters win.
“Challenge has always guided my career, and I’m drawn to environments that encourage curiosity, innovation, and a genuine sense of purpose. LIV Golf is at the forefront of redefining how the sport is experienced, powered by elite athletes and leaders who embrace meaningful progress — a vision that strongly resonates with me,” said Henni Zuël, LIV Golf Broadcaster.

LIV Golf also announced additional changes to the league, including a shift to a 72-hole tournament format, the introduction of a qualification event, and an expansion of fields to 57 players.
What has not changed is LIV Golf’s commitment to bringing professional golf to underserved regions in the United States and worldwide. Indianapolis and Australia retain their popular events, but the United States is currently slated for just three events in the 2026 season.
In a major development, Trump Doral outside Miami, FL will become a PGA Tour Signature Event this year after hosting a LIV event every season since 2022. Former President Donald Trump will now have one of his courses featured on each tour in 2026, with Trump National Golf Club Washington DC set to host a LIV event in May.
