Laurie Canter Ditches PGA Tour for LIV Golf, Transfers Card to Daniel Brown
December 1, 2025
Joining LIV suspends Canter from the PGA Tour and forfeits his PGA Tour card to Daniel Brown.
Laurie Canter, a 36-year-old English golfer, built his rise after joining LIV Golf in 2022, returning to win the European Open in 2024 and Bahrain in early 2025, and reaching world No. 50 with entries to The Players Championship and the Masters.
His LIV journey began with limited European Tour status in 2022, then he competed as a LIV reserve before rejoining the European Tour and collecting titles.
Canter hailed joining Majestiks GC as an incredible opportunity and highlighted the team’s longstanding role in LIV Golf since its inception.
Despite finishing seventh in the Race to Dubai and earning a potential path to the PGA Tour via the DP World Tour, Canter chose LIV Golf instead.
Canter has given up his PGA Tour card to join LIV Golf for the 2026 season with Majestiks GC, transferring his card to Daniel Brown.
Canter’s rise to world No. 50 and qualification for major events underscores a significant milestone for a former LIV player entering The Players Championship and the Masters.
The arrangement mirrors prior moves where cards transfer or timing affects PGA Tour eligibility as LIV signees, with Brown set to receive Canter’s card.
Majestiks GC, the English-based LIV team, counts stars like Westwood, Poulter, Stenson and Horsfield, with Stenson’s relegation opening a spot for Canter.
The move is driven by a search for stability and competitive opportunities that LIV provides, aligning with Canter’s recent DP World Tour successes.
Canter’s move continues LIV’s pattern of recruiting from the European circuit, joining Victor Perez as a French LIV signing for 2026.
