Tyrrell Hatton joins Saudi-funded LIV Golf and becomes a part of Jon Rahm's new team

Tyrrell Hatton of England made it official Wednesday by joining Saudi-funded LIV Golf, giving the league another player from the top 20 in the world and filling out the new team led by Masters champion Jon Rahm.

Hatton had been mentioned as a LIV Golf target ever since the Saudi-funded league signed Rahm in a surprising move toward the end of last year. Rahm and Hatton have been partners in the last two Ryder Cup matches.

The Daily Telegraph reported Hatton signed a bonus of 50 million pounds ($63 million).

LIV Golf starts its third year this week at Mayakoba on the Gulf coast of Mexico. Hatton will be part of Rahm's new team called Legion XIII.
