Summary
Louis Oosthuizen said Wednesday he is leaving LIV Golf and plans to return to the DP World Tour in 2027, ending a run that began with LIV’s 2022 launch.
The 44-year-old said he still has “a few more years” of competitive golf left and wants control of his schedule, adding that a potential LIV 2.0 calendar looked too difficult to manage.
His exit comes days before LIV’s Oct. 25 commitment deadline, with only Cameron Tringale, Richard Bland, Ben Campbell, Victor Perez and Brendan Steele appearing to have signed on so far.
The move lands as LIV fights for survival after filing Chapter 11 in September; BC Partners has targeted $300 million for a 2027 revival, and the league has said it will know by month-end whether it can continue.
That uncertainty is sharpened by the DP World Tour’s decision not to grant LIV players conditional status in 2027, forcing players to choose between the two paths.
