Bubba Watson's RangeGoats GC make announcement ahead of 2025 season
RangeGoats GC, which is captained by Bubba Watson, confirms new deal ahead of the 2025 LIV Golf League season.
Bubba Watson's RangeGoats GC has announced a new deal with Integrity 9 Sports & Entertainment as its first team agency for exclusive sponsorship sales on LIV Golf.
RangeGoats GC have reportedly not signed any commercial partners to date, but they have had on-site activations at a number of LIV Golf events.
The vice president of Intergrity 9, Justin Buck, will lead the partnership with RangeGoats general manager Randall Wells into the new season.

"Partnering with Integrity 9 is a natural next step for RangeGoats GC as we continue to see growth and increased interest and demand for the brand,” said RangeGoats GM Wells.
"With the incredible momentum behind both LIV Golf and our team, it was time for us to bring on additional resources and we couldn’t be more excited about the future."
With a proven track record in sales representation with brands such as the MLBPA, KC 2026 World Cup, Rally House, FloSports, and Richard Childress Racing, Integrity 9 helps organizations establish a well-designed partnership strategy based on research, analytics, and extensive experience.
Additionally, this strategic partnership will see Integrity 9 leverage its extensive network of sports marketing partners such as RaceTrac, 7 Brew, Gulf, and many more.
“We are thrilled to partner with RangeGoats GC,” said Integrity 9 President Wes Engram. “They have proven to be like-minded business partners, and we look forward to finding corporate partners that share their values and vision.”
The latest update coming out of RangeGoats GC falls at a time where a dark cloud hangs over the future of its captain Bubba Watson.
The two-time Masters champion has been the skipper of the RangeGoats ever since joining the breakaway Saudi circuit in 2022.
RangeGoats GC also comprises Thomas Pieters, Matt Wolff and Peter Uihlein.
But there could be some significant changes ahead of the 2025 season.
That's because Watson was one of five players to be relegated from LIV Golf in 2024 following the final regular season event in Chicago last month.
Watson, 45, joins Branden Grace, Kieran Vincent, Scott Vincent and Kalle Samooja in being removed from the league, at least right now.

All is not yet lost for the five relegated players as they can still earn a spot on LIV for 2025 by coming through the Promotions event later this year.
They can also attempt to take top spot in the International Series rankings on the Asian Tour, but that golden ticket very much appears to be in the hands of John Catlin at the moment.
There is expectation Bubba Watson will remain on LIV Golf
GolfMagic has had it confirmed from an insider that Watson is in ongoing talks with LIV Golf and the RangeGoats GC about his future.
A case is currently being put forward to the LIV Golf League board by Watson's team for him to remain on as a captain.
Watson very much wants to stay on LIV Golf.
It had been widely reported over the past couple of seasons that all player captains would be safe from the drop zone.
But it came to light shortly before the final regular season event in Chicago last month that this would no longer be the case.
Watson was the only captain to face relegation.
Watson chalked up just one top-20 finish in 13 regular season LIV events in 2024.
The left-hander also missed the cut in his sole major start of the season at The Masters on 10-over par following rounds of 74 and 80.
RangeGoats GC then went on to finish 12th of 13 in the season-ending Team Championship.
With talks still ongoing about Watson's future on LIV Golf, the former U.S. Ryder Cup player has confirmed his participation in next week's BNI Indonesian Masters on the Asian Tour's International Series in a bid to finish his season on a high note.
Watson took to Instagram to confirm the news:
One player who has definitely been booted out of the LIV Golf League is former PGA Tour player Hudson Swafford, who had been playing as a wildcard alongside Anthony Kim in 2024.
Kim's future on LIV Golf has not yet been confirmed, but GolfMagic understands he will likely join a team in 2025.
LIV has confirmed to GolfMagic that the full team rosters for the new season will be announced soon.
