LIV Golf ridiculed after announcing latest signing: "The jokes write themselves"
LIV Golf have confirmed Jinichiro Kozuma has re-signed with the Iron Heads, prompting a mixed reaction online.
LIV Golf's latest acquisition was underwhelming.
At least that is the verdict from golf fans on X, who blasted the fact LIV teased three signings for Kevin Na's Iron Heads over the weekend, only to announce on Monday that Jinichiro Kozuma will retain his spot in the quartet for the 2025 campaign.
Kozuma earned his spot in the lucrative, Saudi-backed league at their Promotions event 12 months ago and finished 44th in the standings.
Na's Iron Heads were simply dreadful, finishing last out of 13 teams and only securing nine points.
Describing Kozuma as 'Mr Clutch', the official Iron Heads X feed posted: "Iron Heads GC is thrilled to announce the re-signing of Jinichiro Kozuma for the 2025 LIV Golf Season! Welcome back, Jini."
The Iron Heads will reportedly unveil two more signings in the coming days and it is expected that former PGA Tour pro Danny Lee will also retain his place.
Golf fans weren't convinced retaining Kozuma's services was newsworthy, with one blasting: "The jokes write themselves."

Here's some more comments:
"Love Jini but not convinced this re-signing a player, who finished 44th on the 2024 LIV Standings, ticks the 'Big Signings' box.
"Seriously, who?"
"I could beat half these guys."
MR. CLUTCH IS BACK!
