Laurie Canter is at the center of a major golf decision! After earning his first PGA Tour card, Canter is expected to reject the offer and return to LIV Golf. This move has shocked many, as Canter could be a valuable addition to the Majesticks GC team.
Canter, an English golfer, has a history with LIV Golf, having played in its first three seasons and earning over $6 million. He made headlines as the first former LIV golfer to compete in a PGA Tour event, finishing 7th in the Race to Dubai.
But why is he turning down the PGA Tour? And what impact will this have on the golf world? Find out in this video as we discuss the latest developments in the ongoing PGA Tour vs. LIV Golf saga.
The golf world is a buzz with the latest drama involving a rising star. Lorie Caner, who recently earned his first ever PGA Tour card, is reportedly set to turn it down for a return to LV golf, sparking intense debate and speculation. But here’s where it gets controversial. Caner’s decision could have significant implications for the future of the sport. Caner, an Englishman, made waves in the golf community when he played in the LV Golf League during its initial seasons. He earned more than $6 million and showcased his talent, becoming the first former LV golfer to compete in a PGA Tour event. His impressive performance led him to finish seventh in the race to Dubai and secure second place in the battle for 10 PGA Tour cards. However, according to a report in the Sports Business Journal, Caner is expected to reject the opportunity to rejoin LIIB Golf. This decision could potentially disrupt the league’s dynamics as there are currently several available spots for players. Andy Ogalry from the Highflyers, Mito Pereira from Torque, and Yubin from the Iron Heads were all relegated in 2025, creating a strategic opening. If Caner were to join Mage Stickix’s GC, he would join an all-English team alongside co- captains Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood, and Sam Horsefield. Caner has previously filled in for the injured Horsefield, indicating a strong connection within the team. This development is particularly intriguing as it follows a similar pattern from the previous year. Tom McKibben, who earned a PGA tour card through the race to Dubai, opted to join John Rom’s Legion 13 team instead. This shift in allegiance not only impacts the players careers, but also affects the pecking order for PGA Tour cards. In the aftermath, Daniel Brown will likely move up the ranks for a PGA Tour card. The golf industry is a buzz with speculation, and LIV Golf has yet to comment on the situation. As the off season unfolds, more high-profile trades are expected, adding to the excitement and controversy surrounding the sports future.
