Matt Wolff hints return to Smash GC for LIV Valderrama

The LIV Tour's Smash GC team hinted on Monday that Matt Wolff will be back for the Valderrama tournament. This will be the eighth stop of the season on the LIV tour. It will be played next weekend.

Smash GC posted a picture on its official Twitter account that showed the team heading to the tournament that will be hosted by Real Club Valderrama in Cadiz, Spain. In the image, Matt Wolff can be seen accompanying Brooks Koepka, Chase Koepka and Jayson Kokrak.

However, the same Twitter account has not included Matt Wolff's profile (@matthew_wolff5) as one of its members. For now, it maintains those of the other three official team members: @Bkoepka, @jaykokrak and @ChaseKoepka.

As for the players' official profiles, Wolff has not commented about this issue on any of his social media platforms. In fact, Matt Wolff has not posted on any of these social networks for several weeks.

Three weeks ago, a lot of speculation was generated about Wolff's eventual departure from the Smash GC, due to the fact that the team removed him from its bio on both Twitter and Instagram.

However, Wolff has never ceased to be listed in the official list of Smash GC players, according to the official website of the LIV Golf circuit.

It is worth noting that Wolff has been in every LIV Golf tournament this season. The last of them was played in Washington DC, days before speculations about his departure from the team began.
