Scottie Scheffler has already made feelings clear as LIV Golf downfall complete

Scottie Scheffler looks set to see Hudson Swafford relegated from LIV Golf after a poor 2024 season, with the Saudi-backed tour not planning to offer the American a new deal

Hudson Swafford won’t be making a swift comeback to the PGA Tour if he’s dropped by LIV Golf as expected.

And it appears that Scottie Schefflerwon’t be shedding any tears over Swafford’s situation. The 37-year-old is on the verge of being let go by the Saudi-backed tour following a poor 2024 season, where he ended up 55th out of 57 players in the individual rankings.

His top performance this year was at the inaugural LIV event in Mayakoba, Mexico, where he tied for 36th place. Swafford was given a wildcard for the season after missing most of 2023 due to hip surgery, which should have protected him from being demoted.

However, it appears that the LIV executives will not be extending his contract. The American participated in the first-ever LIV event at Centurion in June 2022, but his switch resulted in an indefinite suspension from the PGA Tour.

He now faces a 12-month wait before he can apply to rejoin the mainstream, and is unlikely to be warmly received after attempting to sue the circuit shortly after his move to LIV. Swafford was one of three U.S. professionals, including Talor Gooch and Matt Jones, who went to court trying to overturn their PGA Tour suspensions so they could participate in the lucrative FedEx Cup playoffs.
