Since the LIV Golf League launched in 2022, Iron Heads GC has been captained by South Korea-born American, Kevin Na.

Na is the only constant in Iron Heads GC's personnel since then, with the likes of Sadom Kaewkanjana, Hideto Tanihara, Viraj Madappa, Phachara Khongwatmai and Sihwan Kim all playing for the team in the inaugural LIV Golf season.

By the start of the 2023 season, Iron Heads GC settled on a stable line-up of Na, Kim, Scott Vincent and Danny Lee, but there was another change for the 2024 season after Kim was relegated. That opened the door for one of the promoted players, Jinichiro Kozuma, to step in.

However, Vincent was relegated following a poor year, form-wise, and ultimately replaced by the Korean Tour's No.1 from 2024, Yubin Jang. Captain Na had already re-signed Lee and Kozuma, consequently creating a team of golfers who were all born in Asia.

Kozuma was born in Japan and remains a Japanese citizen while the same is true for Jang and South Korea. Lee and Na were both born in Korea but Lee moved to New Zealand when he was eight and is now officially a Kiwi, and Na moved to the USA aged eight and now represents America.

Regardless of the line-up, so far, Iron Heads GC has generally struggled. In 2022, it finished eighth in the standings, before finishing rock bottom in 2023 and again finishing at the foot of the standings in 2024.

Na finished 33rd in the Individual Standings in 2024, with Lee in 38th, Kozuma in 45th and Vincent finishing in the Drop Zone in 50th.

Despite those struggles, there was a big twist in the season-closing Team Championship in 2024 when Na's bottom-seed team first beat Brooks Koepka's Smash GC in the quarter-finals and then went on to stun defending champions, Crushers GC in the semi-finals, leaving it one of four teams in with a chance of taking the trophy and $14m in prize money.

Although they fell three strokes short of tasting glory, ending T2nd alongside 4Aces GC, it represented an encouraging moment for Na's men as they hope for better in 2025.
