Certainly, there has never been an event that effected the PGA Tour like the advent of LIV Golf. It took away many of the biggest names in the sport and spread them over several continents - for money - as if the millions they had earned over the years wasn't enough to keep them, and their families, happy.

The results of the defections of Rahm, Mickelson, DeChambeau and the rest can easily be detected in many ways, but none as evident as the massive loss of fan participation on both tours - they aren't coming out in droves like they used to.

And, after the conclusion of the Tour Championship, waiting for the January opener in Hawaii, the PGA fields are represented mostly by graduates of the Korn Ferry Tour, and all the players who couldn't get in to the events of the spring and the summer. Stewart Cink, Matt Kucher, and Brandt Snedeker are a few who are trying the youngsters, but Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and the other new set of leaders are nowhere to be seen.

Here's a list of the ex-Gators and Seminoles taking their winter shots.

GATORS:

Billy Horschel: The major winner and earner of more than $41 million tied for 11th in the recent Bank of Utah Championship, but he hasn't played as often as usual. His bank account for 2025 totals $1,483,614.

Camilo Villegas: He has withdrawn from three events in the middle of play, including the previous two events, but he has made the cut at this week's Butterfield Bermuda Championship being played in Southampton. He's put up rounds of 71-70-141, 1 under par - the cut came at even par 142. He has one top 10 this year, but with more than $23 million in the bank, he won't starve.

Ricky Castillo: The Tour rookie missed this week's cut with 75-70, but he's made 15 of 28 for the season, tied for fifth at the Byron Nelson and 12th at the Valspar, and has banked $961,455.

SEMINOLES:

Rookie Luke Clanton played well in several events before getting his card, but now that he has it, it's been more difficult. He missed this cut with76-69, and has collected $251,429 so far.

Adam Hadwin is the halfway leader in Bermuda at 11 under par (65-66).
