The fallout from the upcoming Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series has escalated after the former world No 1 Dustin Johnson said he has resigned his PGA Tour membership in order to play in the inaugural breakaway event at Centurion Club this week.
The 2020 Masters champion leads a 48-player field in St Albans, alongside six-time major champion Phil Mickelson, after defying warnings from the PGA Tour that he would be subject to fines or legal action if he plays in the tournament financed by Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund and spearheaded by Greg Norman.
