Is LIV Golf star Matt Wolff being pushed out of Brooks Koepka's team? Golfer’s name taken down from LIV team socials

Matt Wolff has been omitted from the social media bios of LIV Golf's Smash GC, as the golfer is reportedly removed from Brooks Koepka's team.

While the Smash GC's Twitter and Instagram bios have the names of other teammates, including Koepka, his brother Chase, and Jason Kokrak, Wolff's name has disappeared. However, he still appears in the team's banner picture on Twitter.

The 24-year-old golfer has been associated with the Saudi-backed circuit since last season. Initially, he joined Phil Mickelson's HyFlyers GC before switching to Koepka's Smash GC for 2023.

Last year, Wolff created a buzz in the breakaway circuit when he became the first golfer to ace the hole in the new circuit. He played seven events in 2022 with total earnings of $4,226,167 as he finished 21st on the LIV Golf money list.

Wolff started 2023 with a T-7 at the season opener in Mayakoba. He finished T-5 in Tucson, followed by a tie for fifth in Orlando. However, his performance took a hit after that, as he ended up at 44, 41, and 34 in the next three events. He didn't play in the final round of the DC event at Trump National Golf Club last week citing an injury.

The Oklahoma State Univesity alum has made 64 starts on the PGA Tour and secured his only win on the Tour at the 2019 3M Open. He has earned $7,607,287 on PGA Tour.
