The Fireballs’ GC have a new and exciting addition to the LIV Golf team ahead of the 2025 season.
Madrid-born Luis Masaveu, who has been a pro for some three months, has joined the team of fellow Spaniards Sergio Garcia (captain) and David Puig, along with Mexico’s Abraham Ancer.
Masaveu will pull on the Fireballs attired following an impressive amateur career in which he reached the semifinals of the 2024 U.S. Amateur and won the Low-Am trophy twice at the Spanish Open. He also made the halfway cut at the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon, becoming the first Spanish amateur golfer to accomplish that feat.

“We’re excited about him,” Garcia said. “He’s a really good, exciting young Spanish player. A lot of potential. He’s a great kid, wonderful player …
“Obviously it’s his first year as a pro and coming in and playing with the big guns, I think it’s going to be a good learning experience. But all three of us, not only myself but Abraham and David, we’re going to be there to support him, to cheer him on and make sure that he can enjoy his game and play the way he can play.”
Masaveu is looking forward to playing for Garcia, the 2017 Masters winner who finished third in the season-long LIV Golf Individual Championship race in 2024 after posting his first LIV Golf victory in Andalucía at his favorite course, Valderrama, in July.
“It’s amazing. It’s awesome,” Masaveu said. “I’ve been watching him since I was a kid, him winning the Masters and in the Ryder Cup. So, it’s just incredible. I’m just really, really happy to be here and I’m just going to try to learn the most I can with him.”
Masaveu joins the 23-year-old Puig as two of golf’s youngest rising global stars.
“Luis is a great guy, a great player, and I actually shared a lot of years with him on the Spanish team, so I know him very well,” said Puig, who has won twice since turning pro to join LIV Golf during the inaugural 2022 season. “He’s a good guy, so I’m excited to have him on board.”
The Fireballs are the only team to have won a tournament title in each of LIV Golf’s first three years.
