Americans Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele are reported to be on LIV Golf 's recruitment list for next year as the controversial series bids to increase the quality of its field.
The Saudi-backed series has sent shockwaves through professional golf during their first year, dividing opinion and starting a war of words between its players and their PGA Tour counterparts.
During their first season, the series proved that they meant business by signing up two-time major champion Dustin Johnson and this year's Open champion Cameron Smith. However, the Saudi-backed series has met resistance from two of the game's biggest names in Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods - who have launched their own technology inspired golf-league called the TGL.
However, the millions top players are promised for moving to LIV Golf could see more join the rebel circuit next year.
It is understood LIV bosses want between seven and 10 new players, with at least three coming from the world’s top 15. World number four Cantlay won the BMW Championship in August and is thought to be a key LIV target, according to multiple reports.

Fellow American and world number six Schauffele is also believed to be a target after wins at the Scottish Open and Travelers Championship this summer. If they join LIV Golf, both players face being suspended from PGA Tour events and being frozen out of next year's Ryder Cup team.
Veteran player Adam Scott, aged 42, is also reportedly a LIV Golf target while Belgium’s Thomas Pieters, a DP World Tour player, remains on the list.
LIV Golf events don't yet carry Official Golf Ranking points, with Cantlay and Schauffele facing dropping down the rankings if they commit to next year's 14-event LIV Golf series.
Rebels can currently still play in themajors, ran independently from the PGA Tour, and R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers has strongly suggested that The Open Championship will not ban LIV golfers from competing.
The financial gains of players joining the breakaway series are huge with Johnson leading his 4Aces team to victory in Miami this weekend finishing the series with on-course earnings of over $35m (£30.7m) this year.
