Crushers GC has confirmed the return of its core roster for the 2026 LIV Golf League season, maintaining a lineup that delivered three consecutive team victories in 2025 and consistently challenged at the highest levels of LIV competition.
Team Captain Bryson DeChambeau will once again lead the squad alongside veterans Paul Casey, Anirban Lahiri, and Charles Howell III as Crushers GC aims to build on a strong 2025 campaign that saw victories in Korea, Virginia, and Dallas.
“Keeping this core together for 2026 positions us to build on the momentum from 2025, DeChambeau said. “This group knows what it takes to win; we lifted the trophy in 2023 and finished second last season, and that experience fuels our drive to compete at the top week in and week out. We’re a team of competitors, creators, and leaders who take pride in pushing the game forward, and having this group return gives us continuity, confidence, and a clear direction as we raise our standards heading into next season.”
Crushers GC enters the new campaign with an identity built around inspiration, energy, and creativity. The team blends elite on-course performance with a creator-first ethos and a global fan engagement strategy designed to expand golf’s reach.
Bryson DeChambeau, one of the sport’s most dynamic figures, returns with formidable power and competitive form. In 2025, he captured the individual title at LIV Golf Korea and finished third overall in the individual Championship standings, while anchoring Crushers GC’s trio of team victories.
Paul Casey provides veteran stability and relentless consistency. With more than two decades at the top of the game and 21 professional wins on multiple tours, Casey remains central to Crushers’ pursuit of excellence. In 2025 he recorded four top-10 finishes, including a runner-up result at LIV Golf Dallas following a dramatic four-man playoff.
Anirban Lahiri, a two-time Olympian, begins his fourth full season with Crushers GC, anchoring the back of the lineup with reliable play. A trailblazer for Indian golf, Lahiri has earned 18 professional victories worldwide and brings invaluable experience to the team.
Charles Howell III sustained his role as a steady contributor throughout 2025, posting six top-24 points finishes, including two top-5 results during Crushers’ team victories. Howell, the only other Crusher besides DeChambeau to win an individual LIV Golf title , which he claimed at Mayakoba in 2023 , continues to deliver key contributions in pressure moments.
With its 2025 lineup intact, Crushers GC enters 2026 tied as the winningest team in LIV Golf history, boasting eight regular-season team titles and one Team Championship. Off the course, Crushers GC continues to expand one of the strongest commercial platforms in professional golf, anchored by global partners including HSBC, Reebok, and Qualcomm. The team’s growing presence at the intersection of sport, culture, technology, media, and global business underscores its wider influence beyond competition.
Crushers GC will be among the marquee teams competing at the upcoming LIV Golf event at Steyn City in South Africa, scheduled for March 2026. The tournament at the prestigious Steyn City course is expected to draw global attention as players prepare for the heart of the season. Steyn City, noted for its championship layout and scenic design, will offer a challenging test for all teams and set the stage for pivotal momentum heading deeper into the LIV Golf calendar.
Fans can anticipate world-class golf, intense competition, and further opportunities to see Crushers GC’s core group in action as the league continues to grow its international footprint.
