Report: LIV Golf Adds Danny Lee & Brendan Steele To The Roster

Thomas Pieters is the latest golfer to leave the PGA Tour and join LIV Golf.

It appears that the Belgian giant, current World #34, isn’t the only new signing to announce. As Tiger Woods rolls in birdies over at the Genesis, Greg Norman and LIV Golf are operating quietly in the background, with ESPN reporting that Danny Lee and Brendan Steele are being poached – two PGA Tour winners in their own careers.

Based on @handicap_54, it’s Tommy Pieters, Danny Lee and Brendan Steele to round out the LIV signings. Assuming there’s not some other surprise signing, that’s not moving the needle much. The product has to excel this year, it would seem, to build momentum.

Steele has amassed three wins, none of which are in the last five seasons, and has just remained in the top 125 in the world. New Zealander Danny Lee was a regular among leaderboards during the last decade but always fell away before a Sunday final round, managing a solitary win in 2015 in a playoff. He played this week at Rivieria and missed the cut at +3.

These aren’t huge names but demonstrate the attraction that LIV holds and perhaps some resentment towards the current state of affairs on the PGA Tour. Bearing in mind Mito Pereira and Seb Munoz are moving to LIV, this is a big week for new LIV Golf signings. When confirmed, that will be five new names on the roster.
