Why Bubba Watson could be booted out of LIV Golf
Bubba Watson has reportedly told his LIV Golf teammates he would be willing to step aside if they don't believe he is good enough anymore to compete.
Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson has revealed he would step aside from playing in LIV Golf events should his teammates tell him he's 'not good enough' anymore.
Watson is the team captain of the RangeGoats which comprises of 2023 individual champion Talor Gooch, Harold Varner III and Thomas Pieters.
The 44-year-old has struggled for form since returning from a knee injury that forced him out of action for more than eight months.
Through 13 events, Watson's best individual finish came when he posted a top-10 at LIV Golf's stop at Cedar Ridge Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Watson finished 36th out of 48 players on the money list.
The RangeGoats finished fourth in the team standings through the regular season, which means the team gets a bye for the first round of the season-ending $50m team championship at Trump National Doral.
Watson told reporters: "I told my team if they don't think I am good enough to play, they can kick me out and we will put another good golfer in my place."
He added:
Watson previously explained his outlandish plans for the RangeGoats.
He has a 10-year plan that would eventually see his side have their own stadium, training facility and academy for junior golfers.
"We want a home ourselves," he previously said. "We want our own venue, we want to host an event there just like any sports team."
