Tyrrell Hatton said Friday he will not be part of LIV Golf's planned 2.0 relaunch, joining a wave of players exiting the league just days before its deadline to lock in rosters for next season.
What did Hatton say about leaving LIV Golf?
Hatton posted a brief statement to his Instagram story, writing that he wanted to "confirm" he would not be joining LIV Golf 2.0. "I am excited for what the next chapter of my career holds," he wrote, adding that he was looking forward to playing in Abu Dhabi.
Why does LIV Golf's deadline matter?
LIV Golf 2.0 is scheduled to run 10 events in 2027 and needs enough committed players to retain a $300 million investment from BC Partners Credit. Commitments are due Sunday. Last week a bankruptcy judge approved releasing 19 players from their LIV contracts. Louis Oosthuizen, Thomas Pieters, Charles Howell III, David Puig, Abraham Ancer and Jon Rahm had already declined to join LIV 2.0 before Hatton's exit.
Hatton's is the sixth prominent exit as LIV races to protect its $300 million lifeline before Sunday.
What's next for Hatton?
Still suspended from the PGA Tour, Hatton can instead chase a PGA Tour card through the DP World Tour's year-end standings, the path Patrick Reed used while serving his own suspension. The DP World Tour barred LIV players from its tour last week, a change that also affects Ryder Cup eligibility. Hatton's next start is the Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship, Nov. 5-8, also Rahm's next event, ahead of the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, Nov. 12-15.
