RangeGoats GC’s Matthew Wolff has pulled out of this week’s LIV Golf Dallas event due to an injury. Wolff was expected to star in the LIV Dallas event and will be disappointed to miss out on the event. The American had a rocky spell with Smash GC under Captain Brooks Koepka before joining RangeGoats GC earlier this season.

Wolff’s Injury Woes Continues

The LIV Golf Dallas event began on Friday at Maridoe Golf Club with a 54-hole tournament and a $25 million prize fund. But just before the event started, LIV Golf announced that Matthew Wolff would withdraw from the tournament due to an injury, delivering disappointing news for RangeGoats GC.

This marks the second time in as many events that Wolff has been forced to withdraw. Just two weeks ago, he also exited mid-round at LIV Golf Virginia after suffering what reports described as a muscle strain. His replacement at the event Ollie Schniederjans, shot an impressive 4‑under to help RangeGoats top the team leaderboard.

The details around Wolff’s current injury remain unclear, but it raises concerns about his fitness as the season progresses. With back-to-back withdrawals, it is natural for questions to arise about his condition and how it might affect the rest of his season.

Schnierderjans Replaces Wolff Again

Ollie Schniederjans is once again Wolff’s replacement after previously replacing him at LIV Golf Virginia. The Dallas event is a key stop on the LIV Golf calendar, with players battling for team and individual points. Losing a player of Wolff’s calibre is certainly a blow for RangeGoats GC, but it presents another opportunity for Schniederjans to prove his worth.

Wolff first made headlines in 2020 with standout performances on the PGA Tour, including a runner-up finish at the U.S. Open and a fourth-place showing at the PGA Championship. His unorthodox swing and fearless approach made him a fan favourite. However, consistency has been an issue, and struggles with injuries have hampered his progress in recent seasons.

Despite his recent setbacks, Wolff remains one of the most promising players in the LIV Golf League. The 26-year-old’s talent is undeniable, but staying healthy and focused will be key to fulfilling the potential that many saw in him when he burst onto the scene just a few years ago.

As the Dallas event gets underway without him, all eyes will be on whether Schniederjans can make the most of his opportunity and how the RangeGoats perform in Wolff’s absence. Meanwhile, Wolff and his fans will be hoping this is just a minor setback and not the sign of a lingering problem. For now, the young golfer’s future remains uncertain as the golf world waits for more news on his latest injury.
