LIV Golf's relegation system has come under criticism after Bubba Watson and Branden Grace have both been kept on for 2025 despite finishing last year's campaign in the 'Drop Zone.'
Captains like Watson were originally exempt from relegation until it was revealed that they could be cut from the league and only brought back if a business case was made and accepted. That has clearly happened with the two-time Masters champion and RangeGoats GC leader, who still carries a big name with a strong record and a large following across his social media channels.
