(Reuters) – England’s Tyrrell Hatton has joined LIV Golf and will be part of an expansion team captained by reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm, the Saudi Arabia-backed league said on Tuesday.
Hatton, a fixture on Europe’s last three Ryder Cup teams, is a six-time champion on Europe’s DP World Tour and picked up his maiden PGA Tour title at the 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
The 32-year-old Hatton will make his debut on the Legion XIII team this week at LIV Golf’s season-opening event at El Camaleon Golf Course in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
“I’m really excited for this next chapter, to link up with Jon Rahm and Legion XIII, and to get started this week in Mexico,” Hatton said in a news release.
