If LIV Golf defectors have a change of heart and want to get out of their lucrative contracts there is a substantial cost, according to reports.
The Saudi-backed series has well and truly shaken up the world of golf as the controversial breakaway league rivals the traditional PGA Tour.
The rebel circuit has lured players like Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka to big-money deals with the former reportedly on a contract worth around $200million and the latter receiving a reported $100m.
But the LIV stars will have to pay up to four times their signing fee if they want to leave the breakaway tour, reports Sports Illustrated.
The report claims players will be penalized with an exit clause of either two, three or four times their signing bonus if they wish to depart before the deal ends following the 2025 season.
