2025 has been the year of Marco Penge, especially in the DP World Tour this season. In the 24 events he has played, he has had seven top-10 finishes. Three of them have been title wins.

His most recent victory came at the 2025 Spanish Open, where he beat a tough field consisting of Jon Rahm, Sergio Garcia, and other LIV Golf pros. With so many from the Saudi-based promotion on the field, the question about a LIV future was inevitable. However, Penge had a clear response ready.

Speaking to Ten Golf, Marco said, “I’m going to America tomorrow with my wife to find a place for when we move in January. So as far as I’m aware, I’m playing the PGA Tour next year and hopefully I’ll have a great season and finish in the playoffs there and then come back to the DP World Tour and play the rest of the season here.” Penge appears to be focused on playing alongside Scottie Scheffler & Rory McIlroy in the PGA Tour for now. He also mentioned returning to the DP World Tour at the end of the season next year.

Rors pretty much follows the same schedule every year after competing in the PGA Tour for the FedEx Cup season. So it does seem like the 2025 Spanish Open champion has a plan in mind before he makes his move to the PGA Tour.

Penge also added, “I love playing golf and I’d play every week if my team let me. I want to be playing against the best players in the world. I want to be playing national opens like this. When you win a couple of national opens, that’s something that I’ll never forget and something that my family will never forget. So, that’s my plan.” His goals align with something McIlroy had also suggested he was planning to do in his career.

By joining the PGA Tour, the 27-year-old will get the opportunity to play in the Canadian Open, the Mexico Open, and, of course, the majors. Moreover, regular appearances on the PGA Tour will also allow him to represent his country in the Ryder Cup in the future. Something Garcia missed out on this year. Still, LIV Golf continues to pursue players.

LIV Golf targets other pros

Reports of LIV Golf trying to sign Marco Penge have been floating around for quite some time now. In fact, rumors also suggested that the Englishman had already committed himself to the Saudi-based promotion. That was, until Penge clarified matters himself.

During this period, LIV Golf officials were also scouting for talent within the PGA Tour itself. Rumors suggest that they are negotiating with two recent PGA Tour event winners.

No names have been confirmed, but multiple news outlets have reported similar rumors. Phil Mickelson has reportedly been actively recruiting players for LIV Golf, discussing his efforts during a recent golf event, according to Brandel Chamblee.

These developments suggest LIV Golf could see several new additions for the 2026 season, though one of the rumored targets, Marco Penge, may not be among them
