McDowell latest player to confirm LIV Golf exit

Graeme McDowell has announced his departure from LIV Golf, confirming he will not take part in the planned LIV 2.0 relaunch. The 2010 US Open champion shared the decision on social media, expressing gratitude for his four years with the league while keeping his future career plans undisclosed. His exit follows recent departures by high-profile players including Jon Rahm, Ian Poulter, Tyrrell Hatton, and Sergio Garcia.

LIV Golf is restructuring after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund decided to end its financing at the close of the 2026 season. After securing replacement backing from BC Partners Credit, the league filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to prepare for a 2027 relaunch, prompting several top golfers to decline new contract terms.
