Korean men's golf star Ahn Byung-hoon (34) will build a new nest in LIV Golf. From the 2026 season, he will lead the team as captain of the newly rebranded Korean Golf Club.
LIV Golf officially announced in a press release on the 15th that "Korea's representative golf star Ahn Byung-hoon will join the captain of the Korean golf club from the 2026 season." Ahn Byung-hoon, along with Song Young-han, Kim Min-kyu and Danny Lee, will take charge of the centerpiece of the Korean golf club, which is composed of all Korean players.
Ahn Byung-hoon made his name known to the world of golf by winning the U.S. Amateur Championship in 2009 at the age of 17. He won the 2015 DP World Tour BMW PGA Championship and the Rookie of the Year award, and last year beat Kim Joo-hyung to win the Genesis Championship. He also represented the Presidents Cup International Team and represented the Olympic team.
"Joining LIV Golf is an important decision for my future," Ahn Byung-hoon said. "LIV Golf is a global league with a clear vision. As a captain, I will compete at the highest level and create a new era together," he said.
The team members who will be with Ahn Byung-hoon are also colorful. LIV Golf first-year member Danny Lee is a veteran with a winning career in the 2023 Tucson tournament. Song Young-han is a talented player who has won two games in Japan tours. Kim Min-kyu is the youngest winner of the European Tour and officially joined after showing his potential as a substitute last season.
Scott O'Neill, CEO of LIV Golf, said, "Ahn's joining is an example of our long-term commitment and trust in the Korean market. He welcomed it as an elite player with both skills and responsibility.
Martin Kim, head of the Korean Golf Club, also said, "Ahn's leadership clearly shows the standards the team is pursuing. We have completed a perfect roster that reflects the depth and ambition of Korean golf."
