21 year old American, Michael La Sasso, the reigning NCAA Men’s Champion, has signed with Phil Mickelson’s Hy Flyers GC on the LIV Golf League. He will now turn pro ahead of the 2026 season and relinquish his Masters spot. Phil Mickelson said about the signing: “Michael is one of the most exciting young players in the game today, bringing a competitive fire that’s evident every time he tees it up. “He combines tremendous power and speed with an exceptional feel for the game. Beyond his talent, his personality, work ethic, and commitment to being a great teammate make him a terrific addition to HyFlyers GC. We’re excited to support his development, accelerate his learning curve, and help him achieve his goals—while he, in turn, makes our team even stronger.” Michael said about the move: “I’m incredibly excited to join HyFlyers GC and take this next step in my career. “It’s a rare opportunity to learn from one of the greatest players in the history of the game, and I don’t take that lightly. LIV Golf allows me to compete at the highest level on a global stage, and I thrive in a team environment, especially one with the camaraderie and support that defines HyFlyers GC. My focus is on learning, continuing to improve, and doing everything I can to help our team succeed.” Michael had the lowest season scoring average in Ole Miss history last year of 69.48 and is another young talent who joins the league alongside the likes of David Puig, Tom McKibbin, Josele Ballester, Caleb Surratt, Elvis Smylie and Luis Masaveu. Cameron Tringale and Brendan Steele are also returning to HyFlyers GC as Phil Mickelson completes his line up for the 2026 LIV Golf League season. @HyFlyers_GC @PhilMickelson
