Sergio Garcia names final LIV signing

The 2025 LIV Golf roster is almost complete after Sergio Garcia named the final signing ahead of the new season.

The Masters champion cut Eugenio Chacarra from the league at the end of last season, opting not to renew his compatriot’s contract.

Instead, he has signed fellow Spaniard Luis Masaveu.

The 22-year-old competed as an amateur last season and made the cut at The Open at Royal Troon in July.

Masaveu also won the Portuguese Amateur, finished second in the US Amateur and was the low amateur at the Spanish Open.

“Welcome the newest member of the Fireballs GC, Luis Masaveu!” said a post on social media.

Masaveu is the second new signing announced by LIV this week, after bunkered.co.uk reported that RangeGoats GC signed ex-reserve Ben Campbell.

The Fireballs finished sixth in the league standings in 2024, with Abraham Ancer and David Puig keeping their place in the lineup.

Masaveu, the world No. 997 who reached a World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) high of No.16, was tipped for a move to LIV Golf towards the end of last year.

He was then one of several highly-rated amateurs to tee it up in the LIV Promotions event at Riyadh Golf Club in December.

A five-under-par round of 66 saw Masaveu progress to round two, although he was knocked out before the final 36-hole shootout.

His first LIV season will get underway at the same venue in Saudi Arabia on February 6, with his first tee shot ruling him out of PGA Tour action for 12 months.

Meanwhile, Masaveu has played in the DP World Tour’s Spanish Open each of the last three years, but will require an exemption to return to the event in October.
