Tyrrell Hatton is renowned for his outbursts on the golf course, whether it’s a club throw, snap or verbal eruption.
It’s a type of reaction that usual comes with a fine in professional tournaments, but on the LIV Golf League, where Hatton now players the majority of his golf, players don’t get fined for these types of behaviour.
Here’s the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2024 DP World Tour Championship
During the third round of the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates, Tyrrell “lost it” on the par-five 14th hole, resulting in the “voice of golf” Ewen Murray to call out Hatton’s behaviour.
“Oh no,” said a pained Ewen Murray, the former pro turned Sky Sports Golf commentator. “It’s time for change, I’m afraid. That’s a terrible influence on the next generation.
“I’m sorry to say it. I’m his biggest supporter as a golfer.”
The broadcast then replayed the moment where Murray added: “Just have a look at this. Why? Why would you do that?
“We’ve all had our moments but he’s having too many of them.”

Earlier in the round, Tyrrell missed a 1-foot putt with a lip out, there would no doubt have been another reaction from the Legion XIII member, but the broadcast were smart enough to cut away.
Tyrrell Hatton just missed a putt from a foot. Someone get the hot mic out quick!!

Hatton sits tidily in solo 6th heading into the final round though, only three shots back from Rory McIlroy, Rasmus Hojgaard and Antoine Rozner at 12-under.
The former Ryder Cup player is having some week of it, having already blasted his new boss Greg Norman for the design of the 18th hole at the Earth Course, “despising everything about this hole.”
He probably can’t wait to get back to LIV where he doesn’t have to worry about these situations. Next up for Tyrrell is the PIF Saudi International on the Asian Tour at Riyadh Golf Club in December.
