Hudson Swaford has taken a surprising turn in his professional life after LIIV Golf decided not to renew his contract last year. The 38-year-old American who joined LIIV as a wild card struggled to make a significant impact following his initial T36 finish and a lack of strong results ultimately led to his release from the league, leaving him at a major career crossroads. Swaffford was one of the first wave of PGA Tour players to make the controversial move to LIIV golf in 2022. A three-time PGA Tour champion, his decision to join the breakaway league resulted in a lengthy suspension from the PGA Tour, effectively cutting him off from competing in traditional events for years. Unfortunately, Swafford’s 2023 season was plagued by injuries. And even after LIIV granted him another chance as a wild card, he couldn’t rediscover his old form. With both his performance and health struggling, the Georgia native found himself facing uncertainty. Unable to return to the PGA Tour for at least a year after leaving LIIV and unsure if he even wanted to continue competing. Instead of joining another golf tour, Swaffford made a bold and life-changing decision to step away from professional golf altogether and pursue a new career in real estate. Today, he works for a real estate company based in Atlanta, Georgia. And by his own admission, he’s found peace and fulfillment in his new line of work. Speaking on the Subpar podcast, Swaford opened up about how refreshing it’s been to rediscover balance and spend quality time with his family. I’ve been struggling with my golf as my scores reflected, especially on LIIV the last few years, SwaFford said. So, doing something new is very refreshing. Putting a lot of time and energy into that has been great. It’s allowed me to step back and hang out more with the family. Golf is amazing, but it’s very tough on family life, and I have three kids. Being around more has been really enjoyable. Despite stepping away, Swafford hasn’t completely closed the door on a potential golf comeback. However, he knows any return won’t happen soon because of his participation in five LIIV golf events during the 2022 PGA Tour season without receiving official media releases. He received a 12-mon suspension for each event, totaling a 5-year ban that ends in 2027. “I’ve had some good back and forths with the PGA Tour,” he explained. But it’s still not set in stone. They’ve set my suspension through 2027 based on the five events I played in 2022. They’re basically giving me a year for each one. Swford admits that the punishment feels excessive, especially considering some former LIV players have returned after serving just a year-long suspension. Still, he’s choosing to focus on the positives, his family, his health, and a new chapter in life. Yet, as he looks toward a potential 2027 comeback, the landscape of professional golf may look drastically different. The PGA Tour is evolving, reducing field sizes and possibly removing categories like past champions exemptions. That could make his road back even tougher. If I come back in 2027, what does the PGA tour even look like? Swaffer questioned. Are there no more opposite field events? They’re already reducing fields. I’d guess the past champions category might be gone after this year. They’ve kind of told me that. For now, Swafford seems content watching the game from the sidelines while thriving in real estate. Whether or not he ever tease it up again in a tour event remains uncertain. But one thing is clear. Hudson Swaford has found a new purpose.
