6 LIV Golfers who are being relegated ahead of the 2025 Team Championship ft. Anthony Kim

The LIV Golf League crowned its Individual Champion following the conclusion of the Indianapolis event while several players got relegated from the Tour. While Jon Rahm successfully defended his championship crown this year, notable players like Henrik Stenson, Anthony Kim and Andy Ogletree among others were relegated from the Saudi-backed league.

At the end of the final LIV event in Indianapolis, the players on the standings fell into three categories, Lock Zone, Open Zone and Drop or Relegation zone. While the Lock Zone offers golfers an opportunity to retain their spot in the league, Open Zone golfers could face potential release or trade among teams.

Joaquin Niemann, Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson among others advanced to the next season whereas players like Tyrrell Hatton, Brooks Koepka, Lee Westwood and many others lie in the Open Zone.

Due to average performance throughout the season, golfers who rank 49 and below are being relegated from the league.
