Jon Rahm's LIV Golf team officially signs Rory McIlroy's compatriot

The 2025 LIV Golf season will begin in February, and ahead of the season, Jon Rahm's team Legion XIII is already strengthening itself. This team which finished second in the 2024 LIV Golf season has signed PGA Tour veteran Rory McIlroy's compatriot.

The compatriot in question is 22-year-old Tom McKibbin. On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the official handle of Legion XIII posted a video and announced the signing of the Irish youngster. In the said video, captain Rahm could be seen announcing the signing of McKibbin.

The caption of the video read:

"It’s official. Welcome to Legion XIII, @tommckibbin8 ! #LegionXIII #LIVGolf"

In the video, Jon Rahm also expressed his happiness and said:

"Tom McKibbin, welcome to the team. Let's go."

You can check Legion XIII's annoucement of signing Tom McKibbin in the post on X below:

For those unaware, Tom McKibbin is considered to be one of the best young golfers in the world. Since turning professional in 2021, McKibbin has already registered two victories. His first win came in the Minor League Golf Tour in 2022, while his second win was on the European Tour as he won the Porsche European Open in 2023.

At Legion XIII, McKibbin will join captain Jon Rahm, and a pool of other talented golfers like Tyrrell Hatton and Caleb Surratt. He will also become the second golfer from Northern Ireland to play in LIV Golf. The first golfer from Northern Ireland to play in the Saudi-backed event is Smash GC's Graeme McDowell.
