The end of the 2024 regular LIV Golf season saw the end of the road for five players, after relegation was confirmed following LIV Chicago at Bolingbrook on Sunday
It proved to be a week - and season - to forget for five members on the LIV Golf circuit, after their relegation from the breakaway league was confirmed following the end of play at LIV Chicago on Sunday evening.
Bubba Watson The biggest name to taste the drop on Sunday was two-time major champion Bubba Watson. It had been first thought that Watson would be exempt from the dumping, after captains were safe from relegation in 2023. A rule change for 2024 however ensured the former PGA Tour star was apart of the relegation process.
The Stinger GC star does have two pathways back into the LIV league for 2025, but he will be required to win either the Asian Tour's International Series Order of Merit, or play his way back in via the league's qualifying school, LIV Golf Promotions later this winter.Kalle Samooja One player who took full advantage of the LIV Promotions event back in 2023 was Kalle Samooja, after the Finnish star earned one of the three spots on offer at the qualifying event for 2024.
