Breaking; 8 LIV Golf stars have dropped out of The Masters field as sport’s civil war rages
At Augusta National, the first major event of 2024 – The Masters – unites professional golfers from LIV Golf and PGA Tour. However, compared to its earlier size, the contingent representing LIV is now reduced.
Compared to the previous edition, there has been a significant decrease in the number of LIV Golf players participating in this year’s Masters field.
Out of the group of 88 golfers waiting to play at Augusta, only a mere 13 belong to the league. This figure has decreased from last year’s tally of 21 players- even with newcomers such as Adrian Meronk and reigning champions Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton making their debuts.
Bubba Watson, Charl Schwartzel, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia, like Rahm, are all in thanks to their lifetime exemption as former winners. Meanwhile, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith benefit from being recent major winners. Hatton, Meronk and Joaquin Niemann also profit from their past play, but that leaves eight on the outside looking in.
