Player movements
[edit]From the end of the 2024 season until the beginning of the 2025 season saw numerous changes to team rosters.
Free agents
[edit]Players who declined their contract extensions, along with those who finished in places 25–48 of the individual standings, also called the Open Zone, whose contracts expired after the season will become free agents and can negotiate with any team. Free agents are not guaranteed to be signed and may lose their playing privileges in 2025 if they are not signed. The following table lists players who became free agents.

Relegated players
[edit]Players who finished in places 49 and below and are not team captains are relegated out of LIV Golf and may not be signed by another team unless they earn their way back into the 2025 season through the LIV Golf Promotions event. If a team captain is relegated, then he must make a business case to LIV Golf in order to return.[4]
