“Earn My Way Back”: 25-Year-Old Professional Golfer’s LIV Dreams Is Nearly a Reality Despite the Uncertain Future Post PGA Tour Merger

LIV Golf has been somewhat of a trailblazer golf league ever since its start. Its inaugural event in London back in 2022 was truly one of a kind. One name that popped up that year was of a US Amateur Champion who played in London that year in the hopes of kickstarting his professional career in the glorious league.

The golfer’s professional life took an uncertain turn after his London debut, but it turns out, he is finding his way back to the mainstream golf, and that too after displaying some exceptional golfing skills. The young golfer has found his ray of hope amid the uncertainties that are rolling over the league after the $3 billion merger. 

US Amateur Champion is all set to revive his glorious LIV Golf career

In 2022, Andy Ogletree competed in the LIV Golf inaugural event in London, and at that point, he was not affiliated with any tour. But after his appearance in London, the PGA Tour shut him off, and he also failed to earn the LIV Golf membership.

After the setback, he made his way to the Asian Tour, particularly for the ‘International Series,’ a series of $2 million events funded by the Saudi-backed league. The 25-year-old golfer has been performing exceptionally well on the Asian Tour and is very close to living his LIV Golf dream and locking in his place for the upcoming season.

He recently spoke with Flushing It, a popular X page about golf. He was questioned about how he feels about earning his way back onto LIV for the 2024 season via the Asian Tour, and it is safe to say that Ogletree was elated. He could not contain his excitement as answered and said he did not think that London would be his last event as he got the taste for it. 

Talking about his happiness about potentially finding his way back to the extravagant league, the young golfer said, “So, to earn my way back is super rewarding and I’m hoping to just take care of business the rest of the year and be over there full time next year.”

The experience of getting LIV golf’s membership for the 2024 season has been an elating experience for Andy Ogletree, as it seems from his statement. But how was he able to solidify his position in the backway league? Let us find out.

What accolades did Andy Ogletree earn to potentially fulfill his dream?

After being rejected from the LIV Golf, the golfer found his way to success on the Asian Tour. Ogletree has won three events in the International Series. Out of which, he has won two in 2023. The 25-year-old has earned $887,370 in five International Series events this year. 

The US Amateur champion has practically locked up a spot in LIV Golf for 2024 by leading the International Series Order of Merit by a large margin. Although he still doesn’t have membership in the Saudi league but is looking forward to it owing to his victories. 

LIV Golf’s status is still in troubled waters as no concrete information about the PGA Tour-Saudi PIF merger has been announced. Tune in to find out how things unfold with Andy Ogltree’s future and the LIV Golf-PGA Tour merger.
