Tyrrell Hatton has confirmed he is to leave LIV Golf, becoming the latest star name to announce his departure from the breakaway league.
Hatton’s announcement, posted on social media on Friday, comes on the same day Ian Poulter also announced that he would not be re-signing with LIV, and two days after Louis Oosthuizen.
LIV Golf saw Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) end their funding earlier this season but have since secured investment from BC Partners Credit, as they look to relaunch and continue in 2027.

The league filed for bankruptcy protection in September with a Chapter 11 petition, which they said was to “preserve the company’s business” as it attempts to restructure, with players left to decide whether they wish to re-sign with LIV.
Hatton has opted against doing so, writing on his Instagram story: “Wanted to confirm that I will not be part of LIV 2.0. A big thank you to everyone for their continued support.
“I am excited for what the next chapter of my career holds. Looking forward to seeing you all in Abu Dhabi.”
Earlier in October, Jon Rahm also reached a separation agreement to leave LIV Golf and Sergio Garcia exited his contract with the circuit.

Only a handful of players are currently publicly committed to re-signing with LIV ahead of their initial deadline later this month.
BC Partners Credit retain the right to extend or waive the October 25 player deadline, while LIV Golf attorney Robert Fitzgerald said earlier this week that they should know by the end of the month whether it will be ceasing operations or moving forward.
