The LIV Golf League season has come to an end, and now the fate of many players in the league hangs in the balance. After a thrilling season of 14 tournaments, there are several players who could be facing trades or releases from their teams. Let’s take a look at some of these players and their uncertain futures.
Abraham Ancer, a talented golfer who joined LIV Golf with high expectations, has had a mixed season. While he had a few top-10 finishes, he struggled to secure his future in the league. Another player, Matthew Wolff, has had a challenging season as well, with reports of discord within his team affecting his performance on the course.
Pat Perez, known for his colorful personality, had a solid season overall, but inconsistency plagued his game towards the end. Danny Lee, the 2015 Greenbrier Classic champion, started strong with a victory but failed to maintain that form throughout the season. David Puig, a young Spanish player, showed promise but fell short of expectations.
Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra, Thomas Pieters, Paul Casey, and Matt Jones also faced struggles during the season. Charl Schwartzel, a former Masters champion, had a disappointing season, and Sam Horsfield’s injury hindered his performance. Bernd Wiesberger and Graeme McDowell faced uncertainty about their future in the league.
While some players may be spared from trades or releases due to their contract stipulations or team standings, others are aware that their circumstances could change. It remains to be seen what will happen to these players and whether they will continue their journey in the LIV Golf League.
In addition to these players, Andy Ogletree and Laurie Canter, who were reserve players without a designated team, are also hovering near the relegation zone. However, Ogletree’s strong performance in the Asian Tour’s International Series Order of Merit may secure his place in the 2024 roster.
Even players without a team after the free agency period could still have a chance to compete in the 2024 LIV Golf League. A tournament will be held in December, and the top three players will be offered a place in the next season’s roster. A draft will then determine their teams.
The future of these players hangs in the balance, and only time will tell what lies ahead for them in the LIV Golf League.
