2024 LIV Golf League: 3 Teams That Remain Unchanged Heading Into the Upcoming Season

LIV Golf saw some major changes in the past couple of months, from the mega signing of the world no.3 to a few fresh faces joining the roster. But that’s not all — there were even changes within the league itself, as the LIV Golf’s transfer window has closed. With the players ending their free agency, the teams are taking new forms.

With many reshuffles, relegations, and trades between the teams, there remained three teams that underwent no changes and will be moving into the 2024 season, unchanged and unbroken.

Three LIV Golf teams entering the 2024 season intact

The first on the list is Bryson DeChambeau’s Crusher GC. The 4 man roster clinched the team championship at the LIV Golf Miami. Apart from the exceptional camaraderie between the teammates, one golfer’s performance played a pivotal role in winning the 14 million prize money — Anirban Lahiri. It was none other than Anirban Lahiri. Despite Lahiri’s contract having expired at the end of the 2023 season, his outstanding contribution during the team event led to the renewal of his contract with Crushers GC. The Indian golfer went on to prove his worth as a player by finishing 13th in the LIV Golf Individual Standings.

Neither Lahiri nor three other two members, Charles Howell III and Paul Casey, entered the free agency, making them fixed members of Crusher GC. Additionally, Howell III finished under 24 at 10th in the standings and Casey was 35th, however, he has a viable contract, securing the spot in the team and the LIV Golf card for next season.

The second unchanged team is Majesticks GC. The team is co-captained by three veteran golfers. Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Henrik Stenson. The team had an injured player, Sam Horsfield. He joined the team later in the season and, as per his continued contract, will stay with Majesticks GC for the period of 2024.

Moreover, Lee Westwood finished 45th and could have been relegated but was saved as he is one of the captains of the team. The team finished second last on the Team Standings and will be attempting a better result in 2024.

The third and last unbroken team of LIV Golf is the South African squad, Stinger GC of Louis Oosthuizen. They were 5th on the 2023 Team Standings and had three players in the lock zone (top 24). Charles Schwartzel finished at 38th and in the open zone but was traded as he was under contract.

The LIV Golf teams bearing change for 2024

The above three teams will enter the 2024 season with their previous roster. However, there are teams with massive changes. One of them is Bubba Watson’s RangeGoats GC. RangeGoats traded two of its players with Brooks Koepka’s Smash GC and Dustin Johnson’s 4Aces. Talor Gooch was traded with Matthew Wolff from Smash GC.

Additionally, Peter Uihlein from Watson’s roster was traded with 4Aces GC’s Harold Varner III. 8 out of 12 teams have locked their members and the empty spots are to be filled with LIV Golf Promotion’s three top three Kalle Samooja, Jinichiro Kozuma and Kieren Vincent. Teams that have spots left are Ripper GC (2), Iron Heads GC (1), and Cleeks GC (2).

Andy Ogletree has joined HyFlyers GC of Phil Mickelson. With 5 spots still left and Jon Rahm’s new team to be introduced, it will be a spectacle to witness more new faces joining the LIV Golf.
