Prior to LIV Golf Korea, it was announced that one LIV team would be replacing a player within its roster, as Korean GC revealed Danny Lee would complete the remainder of the season as a Wild Card.
That left one spot open and, within the franchise's announcement, it was Doyeob Mun who would make the step up, as the South Korean joined Byeong Hun An, Younghan Song and Minkyu Kim.
Completing Korean GC's all South Korean line-up, Mun will play in his home country and then LIV Golf Andalucia, with the 34-year-old looking to continue his good run of form in 2026.
