Crushers GC have finalised their roster for the 2026 LIV Golf season with the return of team veterans Anirban Lahiri and Paul Casey.
They will once again team up with Bryson DeChambeau and Charles Howell III after a season that included consecutive team victories at LIV Golf Korea, Virginia, and Dallas, a Crushers statement said..
“Keeping this core together for 2026 positions us to build on the momentum we carried out of 2025,” team captain 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 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,” he added.
Two-time Olympian Lahiri goes into his fourth full season with Crushers GC after providing a reliable and consistent presence, anchoring the back of the lineup to keep things steady.
A trailblazer whose career spans victories and contention across multiple tours, Lahiri is one of the most decorated Indian professional golfers, having earned 18 wins worldwide.
Casey returns as a steadying force within the Crushers lineup, and as one of the most consistent players on the LIV Golf circuit.
Proven winner
A proven winner with more than two decades at the highest level of professional golf, Casey has won 21 times in 13 countries on his way to becoming one of the sport’s most popular players.
His consistency, and competitive intelligence remain central to the team’s pursuit of excellence as he recorded four top-10 finishes in 2025, and finished runner-up at Dallas in a four-man playoff.
Led by DeChambeau, the Crushers have combined competition with a creator-first mindset, using connection, innovation, and global reach to ignite fandom.
Making golf more accessible, entertaining, and engaging, blending high-performance play with education, mentorship, and social-first storytelling drives the Crushers, the statement said.
DeChambeau is one of the sport’s most exciting and influential figures.
His power game impacted both individual and team performance in 2025, winning the individual title in Korea and finishing third in the season-long individual race.
Howell III continued to be a steady backbone for the team all through 2025, underscoring his value as one of the league’s most consistent and dependable competitors.
The veteran posted six top-24 points finishes, including two top-5 results in Crushers GC’s three team wins, proving he delivers when it matters most in big moments.
Howell III is the only other Crusher besides DeChambeau to win an individual title, at Mayakoba in 2023.
Solid blend
Whether anchoring the team or contributing key points in high-pressure situations, Howell’s blend of consistency, experience, and measured excellence helped fuel Crushers’ run in 2025 and sets a tone for his role heading into 2026
With their full 2025 roster returning, the Crushers enter 2026 tied as the most successful team in LIV Golf history, with eight regular-season team titles and one team championship.
They have also built a strong commercial platform anchored by global partners HSBC, Reebok, Qualcomm and others.
That reflects the Crushers’ influence at the intersection of sport, culture, technology, media, and global business, the statement added.
