Niemann and Ancer reportedly set to leave LIV Golf in 2027
Joaquin Niemann is reportedly preparing to leave LIV Golf before the circuit's relaunch in 2027.
The report also says Abraham Ancer will not play in LIV Golf's new version, after his contract ended this season.
Niemann is LIV's all-time wins leader, with nine victories, and Ancer has played for the circuit since 2022.
Ancer plans to play on the DP World Tour, while Niemann is also expected to seek a place there, though his plans are less clear.
Niemann and his team are reportedly trying to understand how much money LIV still owes him.
Players have until October 25 to decide whether to stay, and those who do will play a 10-event global schedule and become partial owners of the circuit.
The DP World Tour may offer former LIV players a guaranteed number of starts, which could help them join its schedule.
