Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell has become the latest major champion to confirm his departure from LIV Golf.

The 2010 US Open winner, McDowell, 47, announced on Monday he has "decided not to pursue" LIV 2.0, the new version of the breakaway tour which is due to start in 2027.

Major winners Jon Rahm and Louis Oosthuizen have also confirmed their departures, while McDowell's fellow countryman Tom McKibbin said he was exiting LIV to return to the DP World Tour last week.
