Halfway through its third season, the LIV Golf League has implemented its first midseason trade window.
As of Wednesday, May 8, the 13 teams are able to trade players through June 9 and can also negotiate contract extensions with players in the final year of their contract. Both teams must agree to the trade and modifications to player contracts are not allowed, meaning the team a player is traded to is then on the hook for the duration of that player’s contract.
“As LIV Golf grows, the League will continue to establish opportunities to strengthen the competition. By opening a trade window midway through the season, all 13 teams have an opportunity to fine-tune their rosters and assess their team’s composition and performance,” said LIV Golf Commissioner and CEO Greg Norman via a release.
A handful of trades were made in the offseason before the start of the 2024 campaign that saw Dustin Johnson’s 4Aces GC acquire Harold Varner III from Bubba Watson’s RangeGoats GC for Peter Uihlein. Watson continued to tweak his roster after he traded 2023 individual champion Talor Gooch to Brooks Koepka’s Smash GC for Matthew Wolff.
But what should we expect from the midseason window? The most interesting aspect of LIV is the team competition, so let’s have a little fun, put on our speculation hats and take a look at which players may be on the move from all 13 teams.
