The 2024 LIV Golf season is heading for its finale, with three more events left before the season's final standings are declared. However, some top-ranked golfers are at risk of relegation for the season.
The series allows only the top 24 players in the season standings to sign a new contract, while those ranked from 25th to 44th are in the open zone, indicating that either their team will re-sign them or they might lose their contract. Meanwhile, players finishing outside the top 45 in the standings are at high risk of relegation.
Although the series has yet to announce how they will proceed for this season, if they continue to follow last year's rules, players including Pat Perez and Bubba Watson are at high risk of relegation as they are currently placed in the drop-out zone of the season standings.
