Matthew Wolff latest to depart PGA Tour for LIV Golf

Matthew Wolff, whose meteoric rise at the start of his PGA Tour career was as surprising as his struggles in recent months, is the latest player to defect to the LIV Golf Invitational Series.

Wolff, 23, will play in this week's LIV Golf tournament at Pumpkin Ridge in Portland, Oregon, the first to take place in the United States.

Wolff, whose unorthodox swing made him one of the most popular young players on tour, tied for 40th in the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, on Sunday. It might have been his last PGA Tour start, as commissioner Jay Monahan has indefinitely suspended members as soon as they tee it up in a LIV Golf event.
