Tom McKibbin has no regrets about his move to LIV Golf, even as the breakaway tour faces an uncertain future following the announcement that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will withdraw its funding at the end of the year.

The 23-year-old Northern Irishman turned down his PGA Tour card—earned in late 2024—to join Jon Rahm's Legion XIII team. Speaking ahead of this week's US PGA Championship at Aronimink near Philadelphia, McKibbin remains confident in his decision.

"No, not at all—I don't regret it one bit," McKibbin said. "The last year and a half has been great. Getting to spend time with Jon (Rahm) and Tyrrell (Hatton), playing with some of the best guys in the world. I feel like I've improved a lot in different aspects of my game and I'm more comfortable. I've really enjoyed it."

While McKibbin has yet to secure an individual win on the LIV circuit, he acknowledges that the funding news caught players off guard. "It was a little bit of a shock to everyone," he admitted. "But going forward, I think Scott (O'Neil, LIV Golf CEO) has done a good job, and hopefully he'll be able to find some funding elsewhere and let it continue. The events are great, the setup is great, and I've really enjoyed it. Hopefully it continues for a while."

Despite the off-course noise, McKibbin is focused on his sixth major championship appearance. He finished tied 50th on his US PGA debut at Quail Hollow last year and missed the cut in his first Masters appearance last month. While he hasn't yet contended at golf's biggest events, the experience of testing himself on demanding courses is proving invaluable.

For fans following the LIV Golf journey, McKibbin's steady confidence mirrors the resilience seen in the sport's rising stars—a trait that pairs well with the right gear for the course.
