LIV Golf could be adding a recognizable face to its broadcast team.

NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley appeared on "The Next Round" on Thursday and confirmed rumors that he's set to meet with the Saudi-backed golf tour about a potential role.

"I'm gonna meet with LIV," Barkley said. "To be always transparent and honest, they called me and asked me would I meet with them? I said yes. Nothing is imminent. I actually don't know everything they want from me or what they technically want me to do. But you've got to always look at every opportunity that's available.

"So, to answer your question, yes, I'm gonna 100 percent meet with LIV."

Barkley is best known for his work as an analyst on TNT's "Inside the NBA" but has also provided commentary for The Match golf exhibition series.

The current LIV broadcast team consists of Arlo White, who previously worked as the lead commentator for NBC's Premier League coverage, as well as former Golf Channel analyst Jerry Foltz and Dom Boulet.
