Player movements

From the end of the 2024 season until the beginning of the 2025 season saw numerous changes to team rosters.

Free agents

Players who declined their contract extensions, along with those who finished in places 25–48 of the individual standings, also called the Open Zone, whose contracts expired after the season became free agents and could negotiate with any team. Free agents were not guaranteed to be signed and may have lost their playing privileges in 2025 if they were not signed. The following table lists players who became free agents.

Relegated players

Players who finished in places 49th and below and were not team captains, were relegated from the LIV Golf League and could not be signed by another team unless they earned their way back into the 2025 season through the LIV Golf Promotions event. If a team captain was relegated, then he needed to make a business case to LIV Golf in order to return.

Wild cards

In addition to the teams, in order to make tournament fields up to 54 players, there were two wild card spots available. Anthony Kim, who played as a wild card in 2024, was retained for 2025 and joined by LIV Golf Promotions winner Lee Chieh-po.

Reserve players

In January 2025, 2024 Asian Tour Order of Merit winner John Catlin confirmed that he would continue to serve as a reserve in the case of withdrawals and other absences. Former amateur world number one Ollie Schniederjans, who finished fourth in the promotions event, also announced that he would act as a reserve. Also retained as reserves were Wade Ormsby; continuing his role from the previous season, Kalle Samooja, who was relegated at the end of 2024, and Saudi Arabian Khalid Attieh.
Schniederjans substituted for Hy Flyers captain Phil Mickelson in the opening event of the season in Riyadh. Also out injured at the start of the season was the Iron Heads' Jinichiro Kozuma; Ormsby substituted for him in Riyadh and his home event in Adelaide, with Schniederjans standing in in Hong Kong; before the fourth event in Singapore, a shootout was held between the four main reserves, with Catlin winning the spot. Korean Song Young-han was added to the roster to substitute for Kozuma in Miami.
The Range Goats Ben Campbell withdrew after the first round in Mexico with a wrist injury, and was replaced by Catlin for the remainder of the tournament. The following week in South Korea, Kim Min-kyu was added to the roster to substitute for him. Having been replaced in the Fireballs lineup by José Luis Ballester before the Virginia event, Luis Masaveu ended up continuing with the team as a substitute for teammate David Puig; during the event, the Range Goats Matthew Wolff withdrew, with Schniederjans substituting for him. At the following event in Dallas, Schniederjans again substituted for Wolff, Max Rottluff substituted for Frederik Kjettrup on the Cleeks, and midway through the first round Brooks Koepka withdrew with an illness and was replaced by Luis Carrera. Wolff remained sidelined in Andalucía, where Masaveu substituted. There were no substitutes required at the final three events of the season.
