These LIV Golf players were relegated from the league Sunday, including a team captain

The LIV Golf regular season is over, which means a handful of golfers were relegated from the league Sunday.

There are three zones in the LIV Golf standings: Lock Zone, Open Zone and Relegation. The top 24 in the season-long standings will secure spots for next year, with final standings determined after LIV Golf Indianapolis. Those finishing Nos. 25-48 are in the Open Zone, which means these players can stay in the league, but their current team doesn’t have to re-sign them if they have an expiring contract.

Players finishing 49th or lower in the points standings after Indianapolis will be relegated from the league and can return only by playing their way back. They can do so by winning the International Series or through LIV Golf Promotions.

Ian Poulter was going to be relegated until he birdies four of his past five holes, but he knocked out a fellow teammate and captain in the process.

These are the six LIV golfers who are being relegated from the league after LIV Golf Indianapolis 2025:
