Will Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele join LIV Golf next year?

This isn't the first time Cantlay has been linked to Greg Norman's golf circuit. The Long Beach native has been in LIV Golf rumors a handful of times now, even getting mentioned in the same breath as Cam Smith as the Aussie was clearly planning his PGA Tour exit. Cantlay has maintained that he has "no plans" to join LIV Golf, so it's just a matter of seeing if his stance has changed.

Schauffele is another story. He was notably present at the meeting Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy held last season for the PGA's core players, and was very insistent that what was discussed at that meeting be kept private. For Schauffele to jump ship now and join LIV Golf would be a major slap in the face.

It should be kept in mind, of course, that LIV Golf is a big-talking organization that still has a lot of hurdles to jump. Despite clearly luring some of the biggest names in the sport, LIV is still without a major broadcast deal and is nowhere closer to getting its golfers considered by the world ranking system. While other golfers already joined LIV Golf with the expectation of getting a world ranking already, the fact the circuit still hasn't ironed that out could make other golfers turn down joining.

So, for right now, the rumors Cantlay and Schauffele are joining LIV Golf are simply that -- rumors. But with how crazy the golf world has become this last year, it's safe to say that could all change in the not-too-distant future.
