RangeGoats general manager Randall Wells emphasized the importance of their partnership with Integrity 9 Sports in a media interview, noting that they aim to grow as a brand while also helping LIV Golf advance and become a leading force in the golf scene. This was a natural step for the team led by Watson, as they seek progress in every possible way. Wells and other team members expressed their excitement about the completed deal.
Integrity 9 President Wes Engram expressed confidence about the partnership with RangeGoats GC, highlighting that they have shown to be like-minded business partners. He also mentioned that they look forward to identifying corporate partners who align with RangeGoats' values and vision.
The RangeGoats GC team includes Thomas Pieters, Matt Wolff, and Peter Uihlein. What surprised many is that Bubba Watson was relegated from LIV Golf after the recent event in Chicago. The captain's performance did not meet expectations, and despite being the captain, it became clear that this role does not guarantee a spot on LIV Golf.
However, there's a silver lining for the two-time Masters champion: he has the opportunity to secure a place in LIV Golf for 2025 through promotional events at the end of the year. Another possibility is to earn a spot by ranking first in the International Series.

Bubba is placing his hopes on these promotional events, eager to return to the Saudi-backed tour. The situation is somewhat confusing, especially considering the uncertainty about what will happen if he does not return to LIV Golf. The experienced golfer is set to compete next week at the Indonesian Masters on the Asian Tour. Given his talent, it's clear that Watson has the potential to perform better.
The 45-year-old golfer is happy for a new challenge in his career, aware that this time he must give his maximum. Watson did not hide his excitement before the performance in Indonesia, happy that he can perform globally. Asia is obviously a continent that Bubba loves, and playing there is his huge wish.
Bubba Watson talked about the importance of the BNI Indonesian Masters within The International Series, stressing that it offers a pathway to the LIV Golf League. He expressed his strong belief in LIV Golf and pride in the positive impact it has made on the sport of golf globally.

Dissatisfied with his performance and form, Watson stressed that its not ideal to be the leader of a team while recording poor results. However, he is someone who never shies away from responsibility and was prepared to step down if his teammates wished for it. Fortunately, his teammates showed him support, recognizing how important Watson is in the world of golf, and they believe he will overcome this challenging period.
Every golfer's career includes moments when things don't go as planned. Bubba will have an opportunity in Indonesia to start improving his form, get back on track, and ultimately return to LIV Golf.
