Tyrrell Hatton’s actions are speaking louder than words. After the league cancelled its season-ending Team Championship in Michigan, Hatton, Tom McKibbin and Adrian Meronk entered the Betfred British Masters at The Belfry. LIV later made Indianapolis its season finale, but Hatton’s commitment to the DP World Tour event had already raised eyebrows. Now, at the $40.1 million Indianapolis event, Hatton may have just said it all.

For tee shots at Chatham Hills’ 12th-hole “Party Hole,” LIV Golf let players choose their own walk-up songs. Dustin Johnson went with Morgan Wallen’s latest single, while Matthew Wolff picked Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘Simple Man.’ But it was Hatton’s selection that drew the most attention.

“Tyrrell Hatton played ‘I Want to Break Free’ by Queen as his walk on song at the party hole at LIV Golf Indianapolis yesterday,” Flushing It reported on X. “According to reports from the ground from PJ Clarke and Joseph La Magna, he bragged about it to other players in the locker room that it was intentional.

“Multiple well placed sources have told me they expect Tyrrell Hatton to leave the league after the 2026 season concludes and play a full season on the DP World Tour in 2027. @TheRealPJClark @JosephLaMagna”

With LIV Golf Indianapolis serving as the reworked season finale, Tyrrell arrived at The Club at Chatham Hills with more than the tournament purse at stake. He was one of four players still in the race for the final two spots on the season-long podium and could finish third, which carried a $1 million bonus, though he needed to win and have both Joaquin Niemann and Lucas Herbert finish outside the top two.

Now, Tyrrell Hatton has been closely tied to LIV since joining the breakaway circuit from the PGA Tour in January 2024 on a reported multi-year deal worth about $60 million. He made his debut at that season’s Mayakoba opener as part of Jon Rahm’s new Legion XIII, LIV’s first expansion team.

Legion XIII won in its first start, with Hatton finishing tied for eighth, and he went on to claim his first individual LIV title at Nashville later that year.

But given LIV’s current condition, he could be looking for an exit. Despite LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil’s assurance that they have found an unnamed lead investor, the league continues to drown in financial and legal troubles.

First, PIF pulled its funding in April 2026, leaving LIV scrambling for investors. Then, shortly after, several companies filed lawsuits. This includes a $1.23 million unpaid invoice suit from Fresh Tape Media, a $1.1 million claim from Mobii Systems, a trademark injunction from Long Island Spirits, and a multimillion-dollar intellectual property claim from the Premier Golf League.

On top of that, several contractors and vendors, old and new, claimed that LIV hadn’t paid them for their services. To add to the misery, LIV recently slashed the Indianapolis prize money from $20 million to $10.1 million (winner’s share from $4 million to $2.02 million) and hasn’t yet paid many of its players.

Many players, such as Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm, could be leaving LIV; at least their latest moves indicated that. Perhaps Hatton is also breaking free from the breakaway league.

For now, Hatton has not publicly confirmed that he will leave LIV Golf, and the league has not announced any change to his status. His Queen selection does not prove an exit, but it has added a pointed visual to reports that he could return to the DP World Tour full time in 2027.

Whether Indianapolis proves to be his final LIV appearance will depend on what happens after the 2026 season.
