Latest LIV Golf joinee Tom McKibbin has reportedly been banned by the PGA Tour. However, his suspension won't come into effect until he actually starts playing on the league.

On Wednesday, it was announced that McKibbin had joined Jon Rahm-led Legion XIII for the upcoming LIV Golf season. He will completes the quartet of Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton and fellow upcoming golfer Caleb Surratt.

It has been an interesting few months for the 22-year-old as he had secured his PGA Tour card for 2025 after placing in the top ten performers on the DP World Tour without a card on the US circuit.

However, despite making two competitive appearances on the DP World Tour this year, McKibbin didn't make a start in any PGA Tour event in 2025. He was last seen at the Ras Al-Khaimah Championship, where he failed to make the cut.

When will Tom McKibbin play at LIV Golf this year?

The 2025 LIV Golf season will start next week. The season-opener is set to take place from February 6th to 8th, 2025, in Riyadh. Tom McKibbin will most likely be seen in action there.

Club de Golf Chapultepec, Mexico City
Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, Washington DC
