LIV Golf exodus continues as two stars confirm they are quitting tour

Tyrell Hatton and Ian Poulter have confirmed they are leaving LIV Golf, becoming the latest high-profile departures from the Saudi-backed breakaway tour. The tour has faced severe financial difficulties after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund withdrew over $5 billion in support in April, leading LIV Golf to seek bankruptcy protection in the United States in September. The pair follow major champions Jon Rahm and Louis Oosthuizen in quitting the tour, which launched in 2022.
