Ten English golfers are reportedly seeking releases from the DP World Tour to play in the inaugural Saudi-backed LIV Golf event next month.
The controversial breakaway series, which has thus far failed to attract the world's top stars, will get underway at the Centurion Club in Hertfordshire on June 9. The 54-hole event will involve a staggering $25 million prize purse - almost double the amount available and next week's US PGA.
A host of leading players have previously spoken out against the concept, with Rory McIlroy already labelling the project "dead in the water." However, LIV Golf Investments CEO Greg Norman has remained belligerent, insisting players will sign up once they can comprehend the sums on offer.
