As the PGA Tour and LIV Golf move forward with their controversial combination, LIV Golf's top lawyer won't be in the picture.
John Loffhagen, the London-based attorney who joined Saudi Arabia-backed LIV in May 2022, is "no longer" with LIV, according to an auto-response from his LIV email address.
The circumstances surrounding his departure are not clear. Loffhagen did not respond to a LinkedIn message, and a LIV representative could not be reached for comment. Bloomberg Law first reported the departure.
