ESPN reports RBC has ended its relationships with golfers Dustin Johnson and Graeme McDowell. This comes after the PGA Tour members were included in the field of the first LIV Golf Invitational Series event. Royal Bank of Canada issued a statement to this effect and wished the golfers well. The LIV event to be played outside London June 9-11 coincides with the RBC Canadian Open also being played that week.
Meanwhile, ESPN also reports PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan met with several agents of tour players at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Ohio today indicating to them his ultimatum was once again clear, according to sources. Play the PGA Tour or the LIV Golf Invitational Series and added players won’t be allowed to play on both circuits.
