Ballester also joins Abraham Ancer and David Puig in the fire ball squad. However, Luis Masaveu loses his full -time space with the team.
“We are very excited that Josele joins the team,” Garcia said in a statement. “Personally, I know him since he could collect a golf club and has worked with my father as his coach throughout his golf career.”

The 21 -year -old not only has a connection with his new team captain, but is also connected to Jon Rahm, another Spanish in LIV.
Its connection also involves the state of Arizona, the Alma Mater for the golfers and Phil Mickelson, who has been a face for the LIV golf since its inception.
Ballester was able to join Korn Ferry Tour, which is one step below the PGA Tour, after finishing third in the classification of the PGA Tour University this year. However, Golf Channel reported Monday that he rejected membership on that tour, beginning to speculate that could go to LIV.

However, Ballester has already participated in a specialty, playing in this year’s masters at the Augusta National Golf Club in April. He did not make the cut, but he had a viral moment after admitting that he urinated in the famous Rae’s Creek, which is in Hole 13 Par 5 as the final stage of the “Three Hoyos” Amen “corner.
Ballester said it was an emergency, but caught a lot of films on social networks, so many believed it was disrespectful in one of the most historical courses in the world.
“I’m like, ‘I really need to urinate.’ I really didn’t know where to go, and from [Justin Thomas] I had a problem at Green, I am like, ‘I’m going to sneak here in the river and people didn’t see me much’, and then applauded for me. Probably one of the applause I really got very strong today, so it was a bit fun, “said Ballester, who shot a 4 out of 76, after his first round.
“They saw me. It wasn’t shameful at all for me. If I had to do it again, I would do it again,” he said.

Ballester said he apologized for relieving Rae’s Creek to Augusta’s national officials.
Ballester will join his new Liv Golf teammates at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club on June 6 for his tour.
