The race to avoid relegation is heating up on LIV Golf League, with a number of stars battling to avoid the drop zone.
The race to avoid the drop zone is heating up on the LIV Golf League with a number of stars in a precarious position with a handful of events left on the schedule for 2024.
Of the standout names in danger of losing their status on LIV Golf this season, two members of Dustin Johnson’s 4 Aces GC in Pat Perez and Harold Varner III are close to the drop zone.
They should just about be okay to remain on LIV Golf, but much will depend on how those behind them in the standings get on over the remaining events.
South Africa’s out-of-form Branden Grace is arguably the biggest name in danger of losing his place on Stinger GC, although much will depend whether captain Louis Oosthuizen wants to stick faith with him in 2025.
Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII member Kieran Vincent will need a big performance quickly to prevent him from being axed from the Saudi-backed circuit.
His brother Scott also looks down and out.
Should a player face the drop zone (and be out of contract) come the end of the season, then they will need to tee it up in the LIV Golf Promotions event later on in the year in order to play their way back onto LIV Golf for 2025. — golfmagic.com
