Top 3 PGA Tour Pros Who Are Ruled Out of LIV Golf Signing Rumors [For Now]

The LIV Golf League has been making waves in the golf world with its big-name signings and innovative format. The league, backed by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, has already secured the services of some of the best players in the game, such as Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and Brooks Koepka. The most recent addition to the league’s roster is 2023 Masters Champion Jon Rahm.

But not every star is ready to leave the PGA Tour and join the LIV Golf Revolution. Here are three PGA Tour pros who have committed to playing in traditional Tour events in January, despite the ongoing defection rumors.

3. Cameron Young

Cameron Young is one of the rising stars of the PGA Tour, having won the Rookie of the Year award in 2021–22. The 26-year-old is currently ranked 21st in the Official World Golf Ranking and has earned his spot in the major championships and the WGC events. Young was rumored to be joining LIV Golf, but not anymore!

Amid the LIV Golf defection rumors, he committed that he would play in Dubai next year at the Dubai Desert Classic. He will join defending champion Rory McIlroy at the iconic Emirates Golf Club for the first Rolex Series event of the 2024 Race to Dubai, from January 18–21.

2. Tyrrеll Hatton

Tyrrеll Hatton is one of the most consistent and successful players on the PGA Tour. Almost immediately after the Spaniard confirmed the rumors, more speculations floated around linking Hatton to joining LIV Golf. The 32-year-old has confirmed to play in the Sony Open in Hawaii from January 11th to 14th, 2024, and Hero Dubai Desert Classic, the flagship event of the DP World Tour, from January 18–21, 2024, along with Tommy Fleetwood and Cameron Young.

Hatton said: “It’s always a great tournament and I’ve played well in the past. I’m looking forward to getting back to Emirates Golf Club and hopefully adding to my success in the region.”

1. Viktor Hovland

The Norwegian professional golfer is another young phenom who has taken the golf world by storm.  The 26-yеar-old has six PGA Tour wins and is a vеrsatile player who can compete on any course and in any condition. He was rumored to be joining the LIV Golf, especially after Rahm joined the league. However, Hovland has denied any of the rumors with his 2024 schedule update.
