After being handed a crushing loss at the 2023 LIV Golf Team Championship, Will Dustin Johnson change his LIV team?

The 2023 LIV Golf season ended with Talor Gooch crowned as the Individual Champion and Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC won the Team Championship in Miami. However, 2x major winner Dustin Johnson’s team had a bitter end.

4 Aces GC contented for the final rounds and position on the leaderboard with all the guts and glory. However, the team had to leave disappointed, standing 4th after the final round. As the new season commences this December, will Dustin Johnson change his team?

Dustin Johnson’s team faces a change 

Dustin Johnson chose LIV Golf over the PGA Tour and bought a team in the league. The 24-time PGA Tour winner has a 25 percent stake in his 4 Aces GC. The 2023 season for the 4 Aces was not what they expected. In the 14 events throughout the season, Johnson’s team won only twice. Once in LIV Golf Adelaide and second in LIV Golf London. 

However, the team had the top three finishes in five events, which advanced them with more points. Ending up fourth on the LIV Golf Miami scoreboard and having one player released from the team indicates that there will be a change in his team. It should be noted that even after having an upsetting Miami event, they are still leading the team board. 

Johnson wished for a better showcase of skills by his team. However, except for Peter Uihlein, no other player had a stunning round. Johnson and Perez both finished 3 and 1 over par for 18 holes, respectively. Pat Perez owing to his imperfect form also is out of the top 24 on year-end standings and faces release from the team.

One thing’s for sure, Johnson will have a different team starting LIV Golf 2024. And one player that will surely be out is Pat Perez. Additionally, with the PGA Tour’s allowing its players to join the LIV Golf for just one event, 4 Aces GC may have newer faces from the prestigious Tour.

PGA Tour pros may play the LIV Golf Q-school event

Recently, the LIV Golf Promotions event – The qualifying event for LIV Golf season 2024- made the news, and people speculated if PGA Tour golfers will play in the event. As previously, the golfer had faced suspension. However, soon after, a spokesperson of the tour cleared the assumption and stated that the tour would allow its players to participate in Q-school.

The deadline for the PGA Tour and LIV Golf merger is at the end of December. As the new changes suggest, the merger may bring about unexpected changes in the game of golf and golfers may be free to choose the leagues they wish to.
