The rumor that Tyrrell Hatton would join LIV Golf was finally confirmed this Tuesday, January 30. The Englishman is one of four members of the Legion XIII team, which debuts in the 2024 season captained by Jon Rahm.
Tyrrell Hatton was scheduled to participate in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. A few minutes after his move to LIV Golf was made official, it was also officially reported that the Englishman had withdrawn from the upcoming PGA Tour event.

Tyrrell Hatton's decision to withdraw from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was more than expected for two main reasons. The first is that it coincides with the LIV Golf Mayakoba, which kicks off the season on that circuit. The second reason is that the PGA Tour prohibits LIV Golf players from participating in its events.
Tyrrell Hatton's place was taken by Hayden Buckley, the event's first alternate. Buckley is ranked 140th in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) and finished 70th in the 2023 FedEx Cup Fall.
The Legion XIII team currently consists of Jon Rahm as captain, Hatton, Kieran Vincent and Caleb Surratt. Vincent came to LIV Golf via the Promotions Tournament, while Surratt was signed outright while still amateur.
