13 LIV Golf Rebels Cut from the League – What Happened Next.
As the latest LIV Golf season ends, not every rebel golfer is still cashing million-dollar cheques. Thirteen players have been axed from the Saudi-backed tour since its launch, many struggling to rebuild their careers. From Oliver Bekker to other early defectors, here’s where the ousted LIV stars are now — chasing wins on the Asian Tour, DP World Tour, or trying to find their way back to the PGA Tour.

When the money stops flowing, reality hits hard. The exiles of LIIV Golf are scattered and their stories are far from the fairways. Where the 13 players asked by LIIV Golf are now as rebels continue to bank millions. The LIV Golf League has handed out enormous paydays to many of its defectors from a PGA tour. But not everyone has thrived. Among the 13 players dismissed by LIIV last year, nine were cut shortly after the series launched at the Centurion Club in 2022. While some keep battling on smaller tours or chasing a return to big-time golf, many face uncertain futures. Take Oliver Becker. Despite finishing six in the inaugural event and pocketing 642,000, he could maintain his LIIV status. Since then, he’s competed on the Sunshine Tour, the Challenge Tour, and the DP World Tour, winning the Dimension Data Prime in February 2023. But the path back to the main event remains steep. Today, as the top LIV stars continue to bank millions, those who’ve been cut are navigating alternative routes. Whether the Asian tour, lower tier circuits, or attempting re-qualification, their stories highlight the risk beneath the glamorous headline deals.
