Professional golfer Tyrrell Hatton from England will skip this week’s LIV Golf Korea tournament after he and his wife Emily celebrated the arrival of their first baby last week, according to an announcement from his LIV Golf team on Monday.
Taking Hatton’s place on the Legion XIII roster will be 33-year-old German golfer Max Rottluff, who will be making his first appearance in LIV Golf competition.
The 34-year-old Hatton plans to rejoin competition next week when he competes in LIV Golf Andalucia at Real Club Valderrama located in Sotogrande, Spain.
Currently experiencing one of his strongest competitive periods, Hatton has achieved four top-10 results across 10 tournament appearances, highlighted by a third-place tie at The Masters tournament in April. This Masters performance represents his best showing in any major championship event.
For this week’s competition, Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII squad will consist of Rahm himself along with Tom McKibbin, Caleb Surratt and Rottluff.
