European golfing stalwarts Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood have re-signed with LIV Golf and will continue in their roles as co-captains of Majesticks GC for the 2026 season.

The English pair are two of the original LIV Golf signings, having played on the team golf tour since the very first event at Centurion Club outside London back in 2022.

There's expected to be plenty of movement in the LIV Golf transfer window but this contract news keeps two big names exactly in the same spot.

“I’ve been part of Majesticks Golf Club from day one, and am excited to continue on that journey as a player and Co-Captain,” said Poulter.

"LIV Golf has changed the game in ways that excite both players and fans, and being part of that evolution has been incredible.

"Re-signing for 2026 is an easy decision for me. I’m as motivated as ever, and I can’t wait to help drive this team forward into the 2026 season.”

Former World No.1 Westwood added: “It’s fantastic to continue this journey with Majesticks GC.

"I’m committed to helping push us forward in 2026 and contributing in every way I can, both as a player and a leader.”

It wasn't a great season for either man in LIV Golf, with Poulter and Westwood, along with Stenson, involved in a late-season scramble to save their places in the league.

Westwood finished in 46th in the LIV Golf individual standings in 2025 with Poulter in 48th and just one place above the drop zone - with Stenson occupying 49th spot and suffering relegation.

It's the latest LIV Golf news of the transer window - following Abraham Ancer switching teams by moving from Fireballs to Torque.

With LIV Golf entering a fifth season in 2026 it's entering a period where a few big names will have contracts expiring - with plenty of noise recently about Brooks Koepka's future beyond 2026.

Bryson DeChambeau also has an expiring contract in 2026, and as one of LIV Golf's biggest names those negotiations will be interesting as given his now huge online presence his asking price may have shot up over the last year or so.

Paul Higham is a sports journalist with over 20 years of experience in covering most major sporting events for both Sky Sports and BBC Sport. He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website.  Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
