LIV Golf’s fleeting contract is a concern for its players. But with the new younger professionals entering the course, this can be a prominent sign towards targeting the young audience. Something that Patrick Reed pointed out in his last interview. Earlier, Yubin Jang, 22 years old, and Frederik Kjettrup, 25-year-old joined LIV.

Now for the 2025 season, Sergio Garcia was also on the lookout for a player to complete his Fireballs GC line-up, as Eugenio Chacarra’s contract ended. Chacarra joined LIV Golf in 2022 with his exceptional World No.2 amateur ranking. Since joining the league, he has won the 2024 LIV Golf Bangkok Invitational and the 2023 St. Andrews Bay Championship on the Asian Tour.

With him departing, Fireball GC has signed a new face who recently turned pro. According to the latest post shared by NUCLR GOLF, Luis Masaveu was signed. The caption of the post read, “🚨☄️⛳️ #NEW: LIV Golf’s Fireballs GC have signed world #997 Luis Masaveu to a deal. The Spaniard joins Sergio Garcia’s team. (📸: @fireballsgc_). Does this move fire you up?”

The 22-year-old after his exceptional amateur career turned pro by the end of 2024. The Spaniard had a semi-final appearance at the U.S. Open Amateur Championship in 2024. Not only this, but his career performances resulted in his 16th amateur ranking, before turning pro. Even in his professional career, he went on to showcase his talent by finishing in the top 10 at the Asian Tour’s International Series Qatar.

Even though the decision of Gracia would be very strategic, fans, after the post was shared on X, took a different route from his thinking.

Fan’s distinctive reaction to the new additional update

The fans do not like the decision of Sergio Garcia. They were expecting something else from the team but with the news of signing a 22-year-old. Netizens started to share their views on the decision while adding humor and sarcasm to it.

After the caption read the Spaniard’s rank, one of the fans commented sarcastically, “#996 wasn’t available?” Another on a similar line wrote, “Wow, world number 997. LIV is surely taking the best of the best!” As LIV Golf has in its roster some of the best in golf, fans didn’t expect the inclusion of players at the bottom of the list.

Even another fan joined in with his sarcastic comment, “Wooohooo 🔥🔥🔥🤣😂🤣.” The fake celebration expression shared by the fan is due to the unheard name entering the course despite LIV struggling to add viewership. Concerning that, another netizen wrote with pun intended, “That should boost the ratings 🤮.” The struggle of LIV Golf isn’t getting any better, with no deal of TV broadcasters and declining ratings.

This wasn’t it, as many others joined the comments section. One wrote, “Who cares hahaha,” while another suggested a better option for the team with his comment, “They should have signed Caitlin Clark for 500M. That is all I’m gonna say.” Caitlin Clark is a WNBA rookie who debuted in the LPGA pro-am in November 2024. The debut performance of the golfer got 34 million impressions on social media, impressive for the LPGA Tour. Signing her would be a great move as it can help the league with better ratings and visibility, which currently has been a major struggle for the league.

A fan noted his thoughts, “LIV appears to be getting worse not better.” For the fans trying to adapt to the new PIF league, the new addition only caused further disappointment.

Sergio Garcia’s move came as a surprise and was not accepted by the fans. Now, with fans sharing their thoughts in the comments, the 22-year-old will be under tremendous pressure to showcase his skill set and get the best for the Fireballs GC.
