Byeong Hun An commits to LIV Golf to captain Korean Golf Club

It's been a busy month in the emerging golf transfer market. Brooks Koepka is returning to the PGA Tour with his tail between his legs, while the lesser-known Thomas Detry moved from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf.

Heavyweights Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau confirmed their LIV Golf allegiance, and now An is the latest player to hop over the PGA Tour's white picket fence. Taking to the socials, the two-time European Tour winner revealed he is eager for a new chapter of his career.

LIV's Iron Heads GC has been rebranded as Korean Golf Club. The line-up has seen three new players in An, Minkyu Kim and Young-han Song. Danny Lee also retains his place on the four-man roster.

"Joining LIV Golf is a defining move for my future," read An's statement.

"LIV Golf is becoming a leading force in the game and a truly global golf league with a clear vision for the future; I see a great opportunity to grow my career as captain of Korean Golf Club: To compete at the highest level, embrace a dynamic team environment, and help shape this new era of the sport.

"Over the past decade on the PGA Tour, I have been able to fulfil the dreams I've held since childhood. I am truly grateful for every moment I've spent on the field and for all the incredible support I've received along the way.

"However, following the conclusion of the 2025 season, I felt it was time for a new chapter and a fresh challenge in my life. As such, I have decided to continue my professional career with LIV Golf, taking on the role of Captain for Korean Golf Club.

"I have always been passionate about supporting junior golfers and the next generation of players. While this is just the beginning, I want to help these athletes realise their dreams on the world stage. Leading the Korean Golf Club is the perfect opportunity to achieve that goal.

"I am incredibly excited about this new role and the journey ahead. I kindly ask for your continued support and interest as I take on this new challenge."
