Hatton joins the exodus and turns down LIV Golf's relaunch
Tyrrell Hatton announced on social media that he will not be part of LIV 2.0, the latest in a queue of exits that already includes Ian Poulter, Louis Oosthuizen, Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia. The circuit, now funded by BC Partners Credit, filed for Chapter 11 in September and has an October 25 deadline for players to re-sign.

Tyrrell Hatton não fará parte da volta planejada do LIV Golf, tornando-se o mais recente de uma fila cada vez maior de jogadores que deixam o circuito dissidente.
O inglês, tricampeão da Ryder Cup, anunciou a decisão nas redes sociais nesta sexta-feira, no mesmo dia em que Ian Poulter confirmou que não renovaria e dois dias depois de Louis Oosthuizen fazer o mesmo. Thomas Pieters e Sergio Garcia estão entre os que já tinham saído.
“Queria confirmar que não farei parte do LIV 2.0. Um muito obrigado a todos pelo apoio contínuo”, escreveu Hatton. “Estou empolgado com o que o próximo capítulo da minha carreira reserva. Ansioso para ver todos vocês em Abu Dhabi.”
As finanças da liga estão em mutação. O Fundo de Investimento Público da Arábia Saudita parou de financiá-la no início desta temporada, e o investimento desde então vem do BC Partners Credit enquanto o circuito prepara um relançamento que pretende levar até 2027. Em setembro, a liga pediu proteção contra credores sob o Chapter 11, dizendo que a medida preservaria os negócios da empresa durante a reestruturação e deixando os jogadores decidirem se voltariam a se comprometer.
No início de outubro, Jon Rahm chegou a um acordo de separação para sair, e Garcia encerrou o contrato dele.
Apenas um punhado de jogadores se comprometeu publicamente a renovar antes de um primeiro prazo no fim deste mês. O BC Partners Credit ainda pode adiar ou dispensar a data de 25 de outubro, e o advogado da liga, Robert Fitzgerald, disse nesta semana que até o fim do mês deve estar claro se a operação continua ou fecha.
