Dustin Johnson’s 4Aces team is navigating some choppy waters, and the golf world is buzzing with concern. Recently, fans were stunned by the news that two key members of Johnson’s squad, Pat Perez and Harold Varner III, are teetering on the brink of relegation after a rough season in the LIV Golf League. The uncertainty surrounding their future with LIV has sent shockwaves through the community, leaving supporters anxious about whether their favorite players can escape the dreaded drop zone. But could there be a way out? Maybe, just maybe, there’s a solution on the horizon.
According to a report by The Mirror, six players are on LIV Golf’s radar as potential new recruits—and one name stands out: Adam Scott. The Australian star, a 14-time PGA Tour winner and 2013 Masters champion, has the kind of pedigree that could inject new life into the 4Aces and the LIV Golf scene. If Scott, who also boasts victories at prestigious events like the 2004 Players Championship and the 2020 Genesis Invitational, were to make the jump, it would be a huge win for the Saudi-backed league. His global fan base and undeniable talent would be a major boost to LIV’s profile.
However, Scott’s transition to LIV isn’t as simple as it sounds. He currently serves on the PGA Tour’s policy board alongside none other than Tiger Woods, which complicates his potential move to LIV. The ties he has to the PGA Tour run deep, and jumping ship could present challenges both professionally and personally. Still, LIV Golf is reportedly eager to lure Scott to their ranks this winter, hoping to pull off one of the biggest coups in recent golf history.

Why would Adam Scott be a good fit for Dustin Johnson’s team?
Adam Scott and Dustin Johnson have proven that they function similarly when it comes to golf tournaments and it seems that they share the same values and understanding of the sport. So maybe Scott’s addition to his team is exactly what Johnson needs right now. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics both golfing giants made headlines for their decisions to skip the big event because they wanted to prioritize personal commitments and their health.

The 14-time PGA Tour winner and Johnson have shown what truly matters to them when they said no to the potential Olympic glories. After Johnson revealed that he will not be playing in the 2020 Olympics because he doesn’t want to be overworked, Scott revealed the same. “With the world being the way it is, Adam is gone 4-5 weeks at a time this year during his playing blocks,” Johan Elliot, Scott’s manager said in a statement to GolfChannel.com.

“With three young children at home, this time in the schedule will be devoted to family. It is pretty much the only time up until October when he has a chance to see them for a stretch of time and not only a few days/a week”, he continued. Both the golfers also hadn’t played at the 2016 Games. Do you think they will be a good fit together on the 4Aces? Let us know in the comment section below!
