# 2025 LIV Golf League

The 2025 LIV Golf League will be the fourth season of LIV Golf. The season consists of 54-hole tournaments, featuring 54 players and no cut, with a team championship event at the season end.

## Player movements

From the end of the 2024 season until the beginning of the 2025 season saw numerous changes to team rosters.

### Free agents

Players who declined their contract extensions, along with those who finished in places 25–48 of the individual standings, also called the Open Zone, whose contracts expired after the season will become free agents and can negotiate with any team. Free agents are not guaranteed to be signed and may lose their playing privileges in 2025 if they are not signed. The following table lists players who became free agents.
| Player | 2024 Team | 2024 Finish | 2025 Team | Ref. |
| Eugenio Chacarra | Fireballs GC | 39th | Unsigned | |
| Pat Perez | 4Aces GC | 48th | Unsigned | |

### Relegated players

Players who finished in places 49 and below and are not team captains are relegated out of LIV Golf and may not be signed by another team unless they earn their way back into the 2025 season through the LIV Golf Promotions event. If a team captain is relegated, then he must make a business case to LIV Golf in order to return.
The following table lists players who were relegated after the 2024 season.

### Reserve players

In January 2025, 2024 Asian Tour Order of Merit winner John Catlin confirmed that he would continue to serve as a reserve in the case of withdrawals and other absences. Former amateur world number one Ollie Schniederjans, who finished fourth in the promotions event, also announced that he would act as a reserve.
