The Royal Bank of Canada has decided to terminate their sponsor agreement with Graeme McDowell over his decision to play in the opening event of the LIV Golf Invitational Series next week.
Northern Ireland ace McDowell and World number 13 Dustin Johnson have both lost their lucrative deals with the Canadian Bank as golf's civil war escalates.
Johnson was both the highest-ranked and most surprising golfer named to the field late on Tuesday for the June 9-11 event at Centurion Club outside London that takes place at the same time as the RBC Canadian Open in Toronto.
