Lee Westwood finds himself in a state of professional uncertainty as his future with LIV Golf hangs in the balance, with a potential return to the DP World Tour emerging as a possibility. The veteran English golfer, who has been a prominent figure in the sport for decades, is reportedly without a current contract as LIV Golf's plans for the 2027 season remain unclear.
According to a report by Tim Schmitt for Golfweek, Westwood's status has been described as "unemployed" in the context of his LIV Golf affiliation. The Saudi-backed league has not yet confirmed its roster for the upcoming season, leaving several players in limbo. Meanwhile, the DP World Tour, formerly known as the European Tour, could offer a pathway back for the 51-year-old former world number one.
Westwood, a 25-time DP World Tour winner and two-time major championship runner-up, joined LIV Golf in 2022 as both a player and team captain. His potential departure would mark another significant shift in the ongoing realignment of professional golf's competitive landscape.
