England’s Tyrrell Hatton, the 16th-ranked player in the world, will join Ryder Cup teammate Jon Rahm as part of a new 13th team at LIV Golf. Hatton is still scheduled to play in this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am; but it is expected that he will make his debut this week at the LIV season-opening event at Mayakoba, Mexico.
Hatton has not yet won a major; for LIV, major winners have guaranteed exemptions for several years. For example, Rahm is exempted into all four majors through the 2027 season after his 2023 Masters win. However, non-major winners must rely on world ranking points. Hatton, currently ranked 16th in the world, will automatically qualify him for the Masters in April.
Hatton has one PGA Tour win, the 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational, and six DP World Tour victories. He has recorded five top-10 finishes in majors, his best being a T5 at the 2016 Open Championship.
