Report: LIV Golf League WITHDRAW offer for potential recruit
One potential LIV Golf League recruit had his deal withdrawn after the breakaway tour announced their U.S. TV deal with the CW Network.

Then when they are good and ready they'll announce their new recruits at precise times to troll their PGA Tour rivals.
Lest we forget how they decided to handle the signature of Brooks Koepka. It was during one of commissioner Jay Monahan's press conferences.
How's that for timing, eh?
