22-Yo Luis Masaveu to replace Bubba Watson's teammate after mid-season transfer

Luis Masaveu is set to replace Bubba Watson's teammate Matthew Wolff for this week's Andalucía event after the mid-season transfer. The 22-year-old Spanish golfer made his LIV Golf debut in 2025, playing for Sergio Garcia's Fireball GC.

Last month, ahead of the LIV Golf Virginia event, Luis Masaveu was replaced in the team by reigning US Amateur champion Jose Luis Ballester, and weeks after the mid-season transfer, he will be playing for Watson's RangeGoats team.

The LIV Golf team shared the news about Luis Masaveu's addition to the team on its X (formerly Twitter) account, with a caption:

"¡Vamos, Luis! 22-year-old Spanish talent Luis Masaveu joins us this week as a substitute for Matthew Wolff at LIV Golf Andalucía. Luis began the season with Fireballs GC and brings 8 career LIV starts to the squad. Let’s ride, Luis!"

Masaveu will be joining Ben Campbell and Peter Uihlein in the team. The RangeGoats, notably, are having a tough season in 2025. They finished second in the season-opening Riyadh event but then settled in 11th in the next outing.

However, the team has had some decent finishes as they ended up fourth in the Korea event and fifth in Virginia. In the last outing in Dallas, they settled in 13th position.

In the season standings, RangeGoats sit in ninth place. With the new addition to the team, it will be interesting to see how things unfold for them this week in Andalucía. The tournament is scheduled to take place from July 11 to 13.
