LIV Golf’s first ever mid-season transfer window to start tonight: Here’s how it will work
The LIV Golf has announced the first-ever season transfer window, which will allow the players to switch the team in between the seasons. The transfer window is set to open from Saturday, May 4, at midnight.
The mid-season transfer window will be opened for one month and captains can directly transfer the players but will not receive any compensation. They will also have an option to extend the contract of the players who will be out of contract by the end of the season. However, wildcards will not be qualified for this transfer window.
As of now, LIV Golf hasn't made an official announcement on their website so it will be interesting to look at further developments.
Ahead of this season, LIV Golf opened its first-ever transfer window, resulting in several transfers of players. Last season's champion Talor Gooch left RangeGoats GC to join Brooks Koepka's Smash GC.
Matthew Wolff did vice versa and Graeme McDowell moved to Smash GC from Cleeks. Peter Uihlein and Harold Varner III from 4 Aces GC and RangeGoats respectively while Carlos Ortiz and David Puig moved to the Torque and Fireballs, respectively.
