Justin Rose rejects Saudi-backed series to focus on 'childhood goals I haven't achieved'

Justin Rose is not planning to play in the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series as he looks to "stay out of trouble" and achieve more of his career goals.

Lee Westwood, Richard Bland and Phil Mickelson are among the players to have requested releases from the PGA Tour and DP World Tour to compete in the 25million US dollar event at Centurion Club next month. Rose will not be doing the same but the former US Open champion and Olympic gold medallist said he respects Westwood's opinion.

He also conceded that he himself played in the Saudi International when it was part of the DP World Tour schedule: "Golf is noisy at the moment and there's a huge cat amongst the pigeons," Rose told the PA news agency.
