\t\t\t\tThree players whose LIV Golf future hang in the balance teed up in the first stage of DP World Tour Q School \u2013 but one is already out of contention following disqualification\u2026<\/p>\n
As uncertainty around the future of LIV Golf continues to swirl, many of the league\u2019s players are doing all they can to secure playing rights for the 2027 season.<\/p>\n
While the likes of Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton will have little concern about picking up starts on the DP World Tour, others are having to work a bit harder. That includes their Legion XIII teammate Caleb Surratt, who has entered a couple of HotelPlanner Tour events<\/a> in recent weeks, and the trio of Josele Ballester, Luis Masaveu and Peter Uihlein, who all teed up in last week\u2019s first stage of the DP World Tour\u2019s grueling Q School experience.<\/p>\n With the top 19 at Huddersfield Golf Club in England going through to the second stage, Fireballs pair Ballester and Masaveu are safely through, finishing in 8th and 14th respectively, but Uihlein was disqualified after failing to show up for Friday\u2019s third round.<\/p>\n Uihlein, who has represented both Dustin Johnson\u2019s 4Aces and Bubba Watson\u2019s RangeGoats since joining LIV Golf in 2022, carded rounds of 74 and 73 to sit 7-over-par at the halfway point, and the American clearly decided he was too far back.<\/p>\n Former LIV Golf player Chase Koepka, who played with brother Brooks\u2019 on Smash GC for two season and earning north of $8 million<\/a> in the process, was also in the field \u2013 but he finished in a tie for 20th on the leaderboard<\/a> and one spot out of the qualifying spots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three players whose LIV Golf future hang in the balance teed up in the first stage of DP…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":883229,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-883228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=883228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/883229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=883228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=883228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=883228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
