Bubba Watson shows true colours revealing LIV Golf 'struggles' as he uses PGA Tour caddie
Bubba Watson has noted how he has struggled both on and off the course recently, but looks to have returned to his best at LIV Golf UK. It's been an encouraging week for the RangeGoats captain in Rocester, who is on track for his highest finish since moving over to the breakaway league from the PGA Tour in 2022. In the years since, Watson has struggled with injury and dips in form, even finishing in the relegation zone last season. But after presenting a compelling "business case" to the league and his team, he ultimately saw his spot on the roster reinstated for 2024. Reflecting on a challenging time, Watson told the press: "The last couple of years, it's been a struggle. Been a struggle mentally, physically, and golf-wise. You want to play better, right?" He added: "I want to have a strong finish to the year, and I see that I can do it. Now, will I do it? That is the question. But I would love to finish in the top 20, if not better, and have a chance to win and then challenge the Team Championship in match play. "All of this is a positive step forward in my career. Obviously, the better I finish, the better it is for me, the team, and everything else. Yeah, I'm going to get out there and battle. Second place right now looks like it's a good place to finish. It's going to be a battle for the second place, if nothing else." Watson's words are clearly a testament to a solid mentality, and he has utilised his struggles as a launch pad to bounce back in form. However, his new caddie Kyle Peters has also played his own role in helping the 46-year-old find his feet again. Peters joined Watson for the 2025 season, having previously worked with PGA Tour luminary Corey Conners. And the LIV star has credited his new looper for improvements in his game, particularly on the green. He said: "I'm making the putts," adding: "Obviously, caddie change. Listening to him on the greens, working with him on my putting, it's been fun. It's energized me. "I feel like a young kid out here learning the game all over again. It's exciting, and I've been calm, working on the mental side of it, and I've been calm out there on the golf course, and it's paying off."

The LIV Golf Dallas event teed off at the Maridoe Golf Club on Friday, featuring a 54-hole competition with a $25 million purse. But before the event could start, LIV announced sad news about golfer. Advertisement The event took an unfortunate turn for RangeGoats GC, as Matthew Wolff, golfer with $22 million in career earnings, has officially withdrawn from LIV Golf Dallas. The early exit comes amid mounting concerns over an injury. Wolff previously exited LIV Golf Virginia after eight holes due to a muscle strain, an incident that prompted his replacement by Ollie Schniederjans, who shot an impressive 4‑under to help RangeGoats top the team leaderboard. Now, in Dallas, Schniederjans is once again taking Wolff's spot for the remainder of the tournament. Official sources have not yet confirmed the exact nature of Wolff's injury.

LIV Golf Announces $22 Million Golfer Abruptly Withdraws at Virginia
LIV Golf Announces $22 Million Golfer Abruptly Withdraws at Virginia originally appeared on Athlon Sports. LIV Golf has shaken up the traditional golf scene by introducing a unique team-based format alongside its competition. Unlike the PGA Tour, where players compete solely for individual glory, LIV Golf crowns both an individual champion each week and a winning team. Each four-player squad works together to rack up points, with every stroke affecting the team leaderboard as much as the individual standings. Advertisement One of LIV Golf's youngest and most electrifying talents, Matthew Wolff, was set to tee off for Range Goats GC at LIV Golf Virginia, but his tournament ended abruptly on Wednesday. Shortly after his tee shot at the par-4 eighth, Wolff grimaced, pulled up, and withdrew with an apparent muscle strain. Miami, Florida, USA; Matthew Wolff of the RangeGoats thanks the crowd after a birdie putt on the seventh green during the final round of LIV Golf Miami golf tournament at Trump National Matay-Imagn Images His departure came as a shock, Wolff, a $22 million career earner already turning heads. Most of his earnings are from LIV Golf, yet PGA too has a contribution in it. "Matthew Wolff WD (injury) after his 8th Ollie Schniederjans joins field, will play remainder of Rd. 1 in place of Wolff," LIV Golf wrote on X. Advertisement Fellow Range Goats member Ollie Schniederjans—who had been on standby—stepped in to finish the round. While Ollie's score over the final ten holes counts toward the Range Goats' team total, it won't affect his individual ranking this week. Wolff's résumé is impressive: he drained the winning putt to capture the 2018 NCAA Division I Championship for Oklahoma State, aced a hole-in-one at LIV Golf Boston in 2022, and won the 3M Open in just his third PGA Tour start in 2019. He also notched two top-5 finishes in his first major appearances and led the U.S. Open after 54 holes in 2020—the youngest ever to do so. Although his individual campaign at LIV Golf Virginia was cut short, Wolff's presence still looms large. As his teammates rally to keep Range Goats in contention, fans everywhere will be watching to see when the young phenom bolts back into action—ideally pain-free and firing on all cylinders.
