Tom McKibbin, a 22-year-old golfer from Northern Ireland, has made a strong start in his LIV Golf debut, despite advice from Rory McIlroy to avoid the tour. McKibbin joined Jon Rahm's team, Legion XIII, for the new season. He recently secured a three-year, $5 million deal with LIV Golf. Although he won't earn world ranking points, he is competing for significant prize money, with the winner set to receive $4 million. Currently tied for third place in the tournament in Riyadh, McKibbin's team leads the standings. A strong finish could lead to a career-best payday for him and his teammates.
