After Jon Rahm, when Tyrrell Hatton decided to join LIV Golf, it came as a shock to the golf community. It was revealed that he had signed a $50 million deal and that meant the golfer had nded his patriotic dream of playing in the Ryder Cup. This made him a target for hatred from staunch golf fans with abuses being hurled at him left and right. This ultimately forced the golfer to deactivate his social media. In an interview, he said,
“Unfortunately social media isn’t the nicest of places. I actually deleted my social media because I knew that there was going to be negativity. I just didn’t want any of that judgement and negativity in front of me. So I deleted that and it’s been quite nice actually.”
The ridicule for LIV Golf comes as a result of their unconventional 54-hole format and the money-minded approach to the game. The shotgun start also seemed like a circus to him but with time, the golfer had to adjust to the system. Thus, after playing a few tournaments with the breakaway league, let’s take a look at Hatton’s performance there, especially at the Miami showdown.
Tyrell Hatton’s Performance At The LIV Events Have A Different Story To Tell

Then he went on to participate in LIV Golf Las Vegas, LIV Golf Jeddah, and LIV Golf Hong Kong, where he finished at T12, T15, and T21, respectively. Most recently, he played at the LIV Golf Miami and finished at T4 by having the lowest round on the second day with 67.
Tyrrell Hatton was also among the thirteen LIV golfers selected for playing at the 2024 Masters as a representative of LIV Golf.
