Seoul: South Korean PGA Tour veteran Kim Si-woo has taken to social media to quiet rumors of his move to LIV Golf. "Okay guys see you in @sonyopenhawaii," Kim posted on his Instagram page, next to a photo showing himself with the champion's trophy after he won the 2023 Sony Open. The 2026 PGA Tour season will begin with the Sony Open on Jan. 15.

According to Yonhap News Agency, earlier this week, reports out of the United States claimed that Kim was in "late-stage negotiations" to join LIV Golf, a renegade tour bankrolled by the Public Investment Fund, the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia.
