LIV Golf to host playoff for reserve players for spot on IronHeads GC in Singapore
LIV Golf to host playoff for reserve players for spot on IronHeads GC in Singapore A unique situation has come up for LIV Golf reserve players, but it also presents an opportunity. Kevin Na's IronHeads GC has had an open roster spot for each of its first three events, as Jinichiro Kozuma has been out indefinitely with an undisclosed injury. In the first three tournaments, the Iron Heads have selected one of LIV Golf's reserve players to fill his spot. This week, there will be a playoff between the four reserves to join the IronHeads for LIV Golf Singapore at Sentosa Golf Club. John Catlin, Wade Ormsby, Kalle Samooja and Ollie Schniederjans will compete in an 18-hole, progressive elimination playoff. They will tee off at 8 a.m. local time in Singapore. The format is as follows: After six holes, the player with the highest stroke play score is eliminated. If two or more players are tied for the highest score, they continue until a highest score of those players is determined and that player is eliminated. After 12 holes, of those remaining players, the one with the highest stroke-play score is eliminated. If there is a tie for highest score after 12 holes, those players continue until a highest score is determined and that player is eliminated. The two remaining players play the final six holes of stroke play to determine winner. If they are tied after 18 holes, they will continue in a sudden death playoff until a winner is determined. Scores will carry over from one stage to the next. Catlin and Samooja hasn't played for LIV Golf this season. Schniederjans has two starts, finishing T-30 in Riyadh and T-42 in Hong Kong. Ormsby tied for 25th in Riyadh and finish 50th in Adelaide. LIV Golf Singapore is the fourth event of the 2025 season for LIV.
