In the wake of Jon Rahm’s recent entry into the LIV Golf League, the golfing world has been abuzz with speculation about which PGA Tour players might follow suit. Initial rumors pointed to Tony Finau and Tyrrell Hatton as potential additions to Rahm’s team. However, the landscape has taken a twist with Finau officially declaring his allegiance to the PGA Tour.

As the dust settles on Finau’s decision, all eyes turn to Hatton, whose recent moves have sparked concern among LIV Golf enthusiasts. Despite initial speculations, Finau’s decision has cast a shadow over the feasibility of recruiting top-tier PGA talent for the league. The latest development involving Hatton’s participation in non-LIV Golf events further adds fuel to the uncertainty surrounding his potential affiliation with Rahm’s team.

Tyrrell Hatton might just be following in Finau’s footsteps

The confirmation of Hatton’s participation in non-LIV Golf events, such as the Sony Open in Hawaii from January 11th to 14th, 2024, and the Dubai Desert Classic at the Emirates Golf Club from January 18th to 21st, 2024, has raised doubts about his potential commitment to the PIF-funded league.
