Former world number one Lee Westwood has stated he is currently unemployed amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding the LIV Golf circuit, according to a report from Gameday Times published on November 4, 2026.

The 51-year-old Englishman, a veteran of 11 Ryder Cup appearances and multiple major championship runner-up finishes, has been associated with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series since its inception. His reported comments highlight the precarious position some players face as the breakaway tour's future remains unresolved amid ongoing negotiations with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.

Westwood, who has 25 European Tour victories and two PGA Tour wins, has not competed in a major championship since the 2023 Open Championship. The LIV Golf schedule for 2025 and beyond has yet to be finalized, leaving several high-profile players without guaranteed playing opportunities.
