Ian Poulter and Tyrrell Hatton among trio of LIV players who join the exodus

  • Ian Poulter and Tyrrell Hatton announced on Friday they are quitting LIV Golf, becoming the latest major figures to exit the breakaway league as it attempts a relaunch.
  • The league is navigating Chapter 11 bankruptcy while attempting a 2027 relaunch as LIV 2.0 with a $300 million pledge from BC Partners Capital after losing Saudi funding.
  • Departures are increasing ahead of a looming Sunday deadline for players to commit, with only four golfers, including 53-year-old Richard Bland, currently staying put.
  • The European tour issued an ultimatum on October 12, stating any player signing with the new-look LIV will be ineligible for membership and excluded from Ryder Cup contention.
  • While BC Partners no longer requires a specific number of players to proceed with restructuring, the league faces continued uncertainty as major champions Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia have already departed.
