Big Change for the 2026 Season

LIV Golf announced this week that Mexican sensation Abraham Ancer will depart from the Fireballs GC to join the Torque GC team, heading into the 2026 season. This move is a significant shift in the LIV Golf league and signals an exciting new chapter for both Ancer and his new team.

Where It All Started

Born in Mexico, Ancer has made a major impact on the global golf scene. He turned professional in 2013 and quickly became known for his consistency and resilience, traits that have defined his career. In 2015, he won his first professional tournament, the Nova Scotia Open, setting the tone for a successful career.

From the Masters to LIV Golf

A breakthrough moment in Ancer’s career came at the 2018 Australian Open, where he secured a victory. He followed this up with an exceptional performance at the 2019 Presidents Cup, where he ties as the most productive player with 3.5 points, as a member of the International Team.

Ancer’s most memorable moment, however, was his remarkable performance at the 2020 Masters. He faced Sunday in the final group after sharing the lead after 36 holes, demonstrating his ability to compete at the highest level.

Joining Torque GC

“I would like to thank the players, caddies, and staff at Fireballs GC for these last four years and for helping me grow as a person and as a player,” Ancer said. I will be forever grateful for that stage of my career and wish them all the best in 2026 and beyond. Joining Torque GC is an exciting next step, both personally and professionally. Competing as part of an all-Latin team alongside close friends, who I admire on and off the field, adds a level of connection and purpose that I am looking forward to being a part of.”

Ancer’s move to Torque GC strengthens the team, which is united by culture and fearless pride, carrying the weight of an entire continent in LIV Golf. With Ancer, Torque GC now boasts four players who finished the 2025 season inside the top 12, including Chilean captain Joaquín Niemann (2nd), Colombian Muñoz (4th), and Mexican Carlos Ortiz (8th).

Looking Ahead

Ancer will kick off the 2026 season with Torque GC at the LIV Golf Riyadh presented by ROSHN Group, from February 4-7. Golf fans can expect great things from Ancer and his new team as they continue their competitive journey in LIV Golf.
