Thomas Pieters, Danny Lee and Brendan Steele join the LIV Tour

According to Mark Schlabach of ESPN on Saturday, three more golfers are set to join the LIV Tour, which is set to begin their 2023 schedule later this month in Mexico. The golfers are Belgium’s Thomas Pieters, New Zealand’s Danny Lee, and American Brendan Steele.

Pieters is currently 35th in the world, Steele is 124th in the world, and Lee is 267th in the world. Pieters does not have a win on the PGA Tour as of yet, but does have six wins on the European Tour. The most significant title was the 2022 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship where he won the Rolex Series event by one stroke over Spain’s Rafa Cabrera-Bello and India’s Shubhankar Sharma. Pieters also won the 2018 World Cup of Golf in Melbourne alongside his Belgian national teammate Thomas Detry. It was the 59th World Cup with Belgium becoming the 17th nation in the history of the tournament to win the title.

Steele is a three-time PGA Tour champion. He previously won the 2011 Valero Texas Open, followed by back-to-back titles at the Safeway Open in Napa, California (in 2016 and 2017). Steele is in fact one of only two players to win the Safeway Open (now called the Fortinet Championship) in back-to-back years. The other was Max Homa of Burbank, California, who won in 2021 and 2022. Homa made noise this past weekend when he finished second to Spain’s Jon Rahm at the Genesis Open.

Lee was born in South Korea, but moved to New Zealand at age eight. He has won one PGA Tour event and that came at the 2015 Greenbrier Classic, where he beat Americans Kevin Kisner and Robert Streb, along with Canada’s David Hearn in a playoff.
