He will make his first appearance for the team in February at the season-opening LIV Golf Riyadh presented by ROSHN Group event.

Canter said: “Joining Majesticks GC is an incredible opportunity to be part of a team that has helped shape LIV Golf from day one.

“The league’s growth has been remarkable, and my experience in the league has led me to become a more complete player and a multiple winner on the DP World Tour.

“To return to the league with Majesticks GC is a huge honour, and they bring a standard of excellence, ambition, and identity that really resonates with me.

“I can’t wait to get started and contribute to what this team is building.”

“His dedication to preparation, his professionalism, and the consistency he’s shown at the highest levels make him a perfect match for what we’re building.

“We’ve been a huge admirer of Laurie for a long time, and the timing for 2026 couldn’t be better.”

Fellow Team Principal Oliver Banks added: “Beyond his talent, Laurie brings a mindset and personality that align with our long-term vision for the Majesticks.

“We believe he’s going to thrive in this environment and help push us toward the results we’re determined to achieve.”
