Anirban Lahiri to play his fifth straight season on LIV Golf in 2026

Anirban Lahiri, the former Indian Open champion and PGA Tour veteran, remains a cornerstone of the Crushers GC squad in the lucrative LIV Golf League. As a key lieutenant to captain and two-time U.S. Open winner Bryson DeChambeau, Lahiri was instrumental in bringing the team to his home turf last year for the inaugural International Series India at DLF Golf & CC.

2025 Season Review

Lahiri competed in 12 events during the 2025 LIV Golf season, highlighted by two standout performances:

  • Runner-up (T2): LIV Golf Virginia (June)
  • Top-10 (T7): LIV Golf Adelaide

He ultimately finished 25th in the individual standings—falling just one spot short of the “Lock Zone” (Top 24) required to automatically secure a full contract for 2026. However, citing Lahiri’s consistency and team chemistry, DeChambeau has officially retained him for a fifth consecutive season, extending a partnership that began with the league’s debut in 2022.

Statistical Standouts

Lahiri’s scoring remained elite throughout the year, driven by high-level accuracy and a hot putter:

  • Total Birdies: 175 (Rank: 9th)
  • Putting Average: 1.58 (Rank: T12)
  • Fairway Accuracy: 60.54% (Rank: 17th)
