Dustin Johnson quits PGA Tour to play in breakaway series

ST ALBANS, June 7 — Former world number one golfer Dustin Johnson confirmed today he has resigned his membership of the US PGA Tour to play in the breakaway LIV Golf Invitational Series.

The world number 15 said in February he was committed to playing on the PGA Tour, which has refused releases for members to play in LIV Golf’s opener, which clashes with the Canadian Open. The 37-year-old, who is reportedly receiving US$150 million in appearance fees to play in the series, said it was difficult to predict the consequences of his decision.

“I’m proud to say that I’ve played and represented my country and hopefully I will get a chance to do that again, but I don’t make the rules.”Ryder Cup Six-time major winner Phil Mickelson confirmed yesterday he had also signed up to play in the inaugural LIV event in a major coup for the organisers.
