2026 Masters: LIV Golfers and Tyrrell Hatton's Performance

Why this matters: The performance of LIV Golf players in major tournaments like the Masters remains a point of interest for golf fans. Hatton's strong showing demonstrates the potential for LIV golfers to compete at the highest level, while his past criticisms of the course add an intriguing layer to his success.

At the 2026 Masters, the performance of LIV Golf players was closely watched. After the first round, no LIV player was under par, but some improved on Friday to make the cut.

Tyrrell Hatton's second round was particularly noteworthy. Despite a three-putt bogey on the last hole, Hatton shot a 6-under 66, marking the best round of the tournament so far. He hit all 18 greens in regulation, a feat only achieved by two other players in the last 30 years. Hatton has previously expressed frustration with Augusta National, calling it "unfair at times." His improved performance showcases his ability to overcome these challenges.

Other LIV golfers who made the cut include Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Jon Rahm and Charl Schwartzel. Notable players who did not make the cut include Bubba Watson, Bryson DeChambeau, Cameron Smith, and Carlos Ortiz.

Takeaway: Hatton's ability to maintain composure and improve his score demonstrates mental fortitude and adaptability. His success serves as a reminder that even players who have struggled with a course in the past can still achieve great results.
