Jinichiro Kozuma

Jinichiro Kozuma, a 31-year-old Japanese professional golfer, was unexpectedly dropped from the LIV Golf league just weeks before the 2026 season opener. The Iron Heads team, for which he played, rebranded as the Korean Golf Club without informing him directly, leaving him to discover the news on Instagram on January 12. Despite a solid 2025 season ranking 32nd, Kozuma finds himself jobless while lower-ranked players retain spots.
