The event took an unfortunate turn for RangeGoats GC, as Matthew Wolff, golfer with $22 million in career earnings, has officially withdrawn from LIV Golf Dallas. The early exit comes amid mounting concerns over an injury.
Wolff previously exited LIV Golf Virginia after eight holes due to a muscle strain, an incident that prompted his replacement by Ollie Schniederjans, who shot an impressive 4‑under to help RangeGoats top the team leaderboard.
Now, in Dallas, Schniederjans is once again taking Wolff’s spot for the remainder of the tournament. Official sources have not yet confirmed the exact nature of Wolff’s injury.

The sad part is RangeGoats GC tweeted on Thursday, with an excited message welcoming Wolff to the course.

“Wolff is back and ready to bring the heat in Dallas! 🐺🔥” they posted. Even Wolff himself was excited to be back.
“I’m feeling pretty good, actually — some much‑needed rest,” Wolff said on Thursday. “I’ve been working on my body, trying to recover, doing some physical therapy and getting in the gym a little bit.”
“I’m feeling a lot better and pretty optimistic about the week. I’m continuing to work on my body as well as my game to keep on feeling good.”
But disaster struck on Friday. Meanwhile, RangeGoats will lean heavily on players like Bubba Watson, Peter Uihlein and Ben Campbell — plus Schniederjans — as they look to maintain momentum in the team race.
