Tyrrell Hatton gears up for LIV Golf season after standout Masters round

Recent performance

At the 2026 Masters, the Englishman posted a remarkable six‑under‑par 15‑hole stretch, sharing the 2‑shot lead after round two and ultimately finishing tied for 14th at 3‑under. Statistically, Hatton excelled around the greens and from tee‑to‑green, ranking in the top‑10 in both categories, while his putting and GIR numbers lagged near the bottom of the field.

Upcoming schedule

Hatton will skip the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship and instead head to Riyadh for the opening tournament of the 2026 LIV Golf season in February. The move follows a mixed start to the year, with two top‑10 finishes but several finishes outside the top‑38 on the LIV circuit.

Career context

Hatton, an eight‑time European Tour winner and 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational champion, has previously defended titles such as the Alfred Dunhill Links before capturing the Italian Open the following week. His record at the Masters includes three top‑20 finishes in nine starts, showing a pattern of strong approach play that can translate into future LIV success.
