Hatton among DP World Tour members given LIV Golf releases

Tyrrell Hatton is among eight DP World Tour members to have been granted permission to play in conflicting tournaments on the LIV Golf circuit in 2026.

Laurie Canter, Thomas Detry, Tom McKibbin, Adrian Meronk, Victor Perez, David Puig and Elvis Smylie are the other players to have been given this dispensation.

The eight golfers will retain their membership status and face no disciplinary action provided they meet a series of conditions, all of which the players have accepted.

These include paying outstanding fines in full for breaching the DP World Tour's regulations, as well withdrawing all pending appeals.

The group must also participate in additional stipulated DP World Tour tournaments and media activity.

The DP World Tour has insisted that the releases only apply for 2026 and are not "precedent setting", with requests for further releases to be considered on an individual basis.

Disciplinary action will continue be taken against members who play in conflicting LIV events without a release.
