Tom McKibbin joins Ian Poulter and Tyrrell Hatton in quitting LIV Golf after making $18.7m in two seasons
Full story
Tom McKibbin is quitting LIV Golf, and he does so with an unusually healthy bank account. The Northern Irishman collected $18.7 million over two seasons on the circuit, a striking total for such a short stint. His exit lines up with those of Ian Poulter and Tyrrell Hatton, who have also walked away from the league. Three recognizable names leaving at once is a real dent in the tour's roster. McKibbin is still young enough to rebuild his path on a traditional circuit, which many see as the likeliest next step. LIV money gave him security, but ranking points and Ryder Cup access remain tied to the established tours, which is one reason players drift back. Where he signs next will be watched closely on both sides of golf's split.
