Former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen exits LIV Golf, stating it is time to move on as the rebel circuit faces an uncertain future and restructuring.
POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — Former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen is preparing to depart LIV Golf, confirming that the moment has arrived to leave the breakaway circuit behind.
The South African golfer stated that it was time to move on as the rebel tour navigates an uncertain future and grapples with Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings following financial backing complications from Saudi Arabia.
Oosthuizen confirmed that he will not re-sign with LIV Golf for its upcoming phase, relinquishing both his playing commitments and his leadership captaincy.
The 2010 Open champion described stepping away as the single most difficult choice he has ever faced throughout his professional career.
With Oosthuizen’s departure, only four competitors remain formally committed to LIV 2.0, with the final player sign-up deadline just four days away.
