These LIV Golf players are in danger of being relegated with 2 events left
There are three zones in the LIV Golf standings: Lock Zone, Open Zone and Relegation. The top 24 in the season-long standings will secure spots for next year, with final standings determined after LIV Golf Indianapolis. Those finishing Nos. 25-48 are in the Open Zone, which means these players can stay in the league, but their current team doesn't have to re-sign them if they have an expiring contract.
Players finishing 49th or lower in the points standings after Indianapolis will be relegated from the league and can return only by playing their way back. They can do so by winning the International Series or through LIV Golf Promotions.
In 2023, LIV Golf had 48 players compete in each tournament, with players avoiding relegation by finishing 44th or higher. The 44th player that season was Laurie Canter with 12 points. In 2024, LIV added one team and two other wld card spots for 54 players per event. All players finishing 48th or higher were safe from relegation. Pat Perez finished at 48th with 7.76 total points.

Here's a look at the players in danger of being relegated, including four of the league's six new faces this season, a team captain and the winner of the 2024 Promotions Event:

The streaming numbers are out for 'Happy Gilmore 2' and that's what we call a hole-in-one
The reviews on "Happy Gilmore 2" are mixed. The results are not. The sequel to Adam Sandler's 1996 comedy hit Netflix on July 25 and the numbers don't lie. According to Variety, 46.7 million viewers streamed the movie in just three days — making it the biggest U.S. opening weekend in Netflix history. It also hit a high-water mark for Sandler, who has been a key cog for the platform. The movie brings back Sandler in the lead role. Co-stars Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald are back to reprise their roles as Virginia Venit, a PGA Tour publicist-turned romantic interest for Happy, and cocky pro golfer Shooter McGavin, respectively. The film includes a ton of pro golfers making cameos as well, including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Keegan Bradley, Rickie Fowler, Tony Finau, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth and Will Zalatoris from the PGA Tour, as well as Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka from LIV Golf. Legends of the game make appearances, too, such as Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino and John Daly. When asked, McDonald said he loved meeting many of the players, but one two-time Masters champ stood out. "He's a good man, Bubba Watson. I have known a few of these golf legends and legends-in-training," McDonald said. "But seeing them one-on-one, it's like: 'Oh, my God, that's Rory McIlroy. That's Bryson DeChambeau. That's Scottie Scheffler.' It was mind-blowing for me. And I came in on my days off just to hang out with them."

Did Jon Rahm Cross Line With Outburst At LIV Golf UK Event?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The dust had barely settled at the JCB Golf & Country Club when a new controversy stole the spotlight from Joaquin Niemann's fifth LIV Golf win of the season. Niemann clinched the 2025 LIV Golf UK title on Sunday, finishing at 17-under-par, three shots ahead of Bubba Watson. Niemann has been the most consistent winner of LIV Golf, but according to Rahm, he is underrated. "Nowadays in golf, due to various circumstances, I think Joaquin is severely underrated," Rahm told reporters after the 26-year-old pro's win on Sunday. But that was not the only debate through which Rahm raised discussions in the golf world again.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WEST VIRGINIA - AUGUST 18: Jon Rahm of Spain looks on at the 11th hole during day three of LIV Golf: Greenbrier at The Old White Course on August 18, 2024 in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. (Photo by) More Getty Images A video surfaced shortly after the final round showing Rahm lashing out on the seventh tee at the JCB Golf & Country Club. After hitting a loose drive, the former Masters champion was visibly irritated. As he tried to regroup, a voice from the gallery called out, "Chin up, Jon, son!" And it boiled the blood inside Rahm. He turned and kicked a microphone placed on the tee box with his right boot. The moment, captured by @aidenward1998 and reposted by Nuclr Golf on X, quickly went viral and sparked a wave of backlash on social media. 🚨🥾🎙️ #WATCH — Jon Rahm was LIVID after his tee shot on the 7th hole found the rough at LIV Golf UK 😲 🗣️ 'Chin up Jon son!' (Via: aidenward1998/TT) — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) July 28, 2025 This wasn't an isolated incident. Just two weeks earlier, during the Open Championship at Royal Portrush, Rahm snapped at a fan who whistled during his backswing on the par-4 11th hole. "Really? Whistling? Great timing. Right in my backswing. Very smart, whoever it was," Rahm said at the time. He later admitted the distraction wasn't as serious as he made it seem. "These things happen," he told reporters during his post-round conference at The Open. "It probably didn't affect me as much as I made it sound like." But fans aren't convinced. Rahm's latest outburst drew sharp criticism on X. Some fans even branded the LIV pro as "Childish." As per his performance in the latest LIV Golf event, Rahm finished T5 at 10-under-par. This helped his team, Legion XIII, secure the team title with a final score of 35-under, eight shots clear of Torque GC. But his individual performance was once again overshadowed by his temper.
