England's Ian Poulter and Tyrrell Hatton both announced Friday that they won't be a part of LIV Golf 2.0.
Poulter, 50, was co-captain of the Majesticks GC team with Lee Westwood and was among the first players to join LIV Golf in June 2023.
"Ultimately, the opportunity to spend more time at home with my family, reduce international travel, focus on senior golf and have the opportunity to pursue other interests was something that I felt was right for me at this stage of my life and career," Poulter wrote on social media Friday.
Hatton, one of the highest-ranked golfers in the LIV Golf League, also took to social media for his announcement.
"Wanted to confirm that I will not be a part of LIV 2.0," Hatton wrote in an Instagram story. "A big thanks to everyone for their continued support. I am excited for what the next chapter of my career holds."
Hatton, who is ranked 26th in the Official World Golf Ranking, indicated he'll play in the DP World Tour's Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship on Nov. 5-8. He is an eight-time winner on the European tour.
Earlier this month, Poulter, a 12-time winner on the DP World Tour, made his first start on that circuit in more than three years, missing the cut in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
Lucas Herbert, Tom McKibbin and Branden Grace also announced they're leaving LIV Golf and will compete on the DP World Tour in 2027.
In June, the DP World Tour confirmed that Poulter and Westwood had paid their fines for playing in competing LIV Golf events. Poulter had said his fines were about $1.1 million.
Poulter can return as a DP World Tour member in November, but he remains ineligible to become a European team vice captain or captain in the Ryder Cup. The European tour introduced a rule in 2017 that says any golfer who drops his membership for any reason is ineligible to become a vice captain or captain.
"Under our current regulations, even if they were to rejoin as members, neither can serve as a Captain or Vice Captain in the Ryder Cup," a DP World Tour spokesperson confirmed to Golfweek in June.
Poulter had a 15-8-2 record in seven Ryder Cups and was once considered a lock to become a captain.
"Change is never easy, and it's fair to say professional golf has experienced plenty of it over the last few years," Poulter said Friday. "But I've always believed that change can create opportunity and ultimately lead to positive outcomes. There will undoubtedly be more changes ahead, but I am confident the game will continue to grow, evolve and deliver the very best for golf fans around the world."
Hatton, 35, was a member of Jon Rahm's Legion XIII team. He won LIV Golf events in Nashville in 2024 and in Spain on June 7.
Rahm, a two-time major champion, reached his own separation agreement with LIV Golf last week, and golfers such as Louis Oosthuizen, Charles Howell III, Thomas Pieters, David Puig, Abraham Ancer and Adrian Meronk also have indicated they won't return.
