Anthony Kim among relegated LIV golfers in 2025 while Ian Poulter escapes drop zone

Anthony Kim is among the relegated LIV golfers in 2025, while Ian Poulter evaded the drop zone. The LIV Golf Indianapolis, the last event of the PIF-backed league, saw many golfers coming down to the drop zone. As Jon Rahm led the LIV Golf individual standings list with his performance for a second consecutive year, some names like Anthony Kim and Henrik Stenson will face the terror of relegation.

However, some players like Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood escaped relegation by finishing at T17 on the LIV Golf Indianapolis leaderboard after scoring 12 under each. Westwood and Poulter are in the open zone with 9.20 points and 6.50 points, respectively.

On the contrary, Anthony Kim is in the drop zone with zero points, and Stenson is in the same zone with 6.12 points. Other names in the drop zone include Andy Ogletree, Mito Pereira, and others.

These golfers can only save themselves by the Asian Tour's International Series or the LIV Golf Promotion event, which will take place in the fall season.
