The player exodus continues as another veteran leaves LIV Golf…
The dominoes keep on falling at LIV Golf.
Last week, Tyrrell Hatton, Ian Poulter, Louis Oosthuizen, Lucas Herbert and Tom McKibbin were among the headline names to declare themselves out of the league’s next chapter.
And now another of LIV’s most recognisable veterans has called it quits ahead of LIV 2.0.
Graeme McDowell, who has played on LIV since the league’s first event at Centurion four summers ago, has publicly announced his own decision to move on.
“I’ve decided not to pursue LIV 2.0,” the 2010 US Open champion wrote on X.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity I’ve had over the last four years and want to thank everyone who has been part of that journey. I look forward to the next chapter in my career.”
It is believed that next chapter will be the DP World Tour.
McDowell has revealed this year that he has been in talks with Wentworth officials with a view to recovering his membership ahead of the 2027 season. He will be able to return to his former domain on a Legends category exemption.
McDowell made more than $18million in prize money during his time with LIV, despite not winning an individual event.
The 47-year-old has played in four Ryder Cups, but is currently ineligible to represent Team Europe as captain or as vice-captain after he relinquished his DP World Tour membership following his LIV move.
