Former Open Championship winner Louis Oosthuizen has become the latest high-profile player to quit LIV Golf, describing it as the "hardest decision he has had to make in his career". The league filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States in September after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund withdrew its multibillion-dollar backing. Oosthuizen, 44, joined LIV Golf in 2022 and was captain of the Southern Guards GC team. The South African now plans to return to the DP World Tour in 2027. "Five years ago, I made one of the best decisions of my life, moving away from the traditional golf world and into something very special with LIV Golf and Southern Guards GC," Oosthuizen posted on social media. "I'm the biggest supporter of team golf and always will be. Golf needs more of it. "This is probably the hardest decision I've had to make in my career, but I have to do what I believe is right for my golf. "The 2010 Open champion, who has finished as a runner-up at least once in each of the other three majors, said a more flexible playing schedule will help him to compete at a high level.

Warriors’ Lendeborg: ‘Lost all respect’ for Doncic - TSN

LOS ANGELES -- In the aftermath of a 127-105 opening-night loss, Golden State Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg said he "lost all respect" for Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic because of the way he begs for foul calls. "I had a lot of respect for him [because] I didn't really watch the NBA much," Lendeborg said. "I just watched highlights and seen him kill people. But being in it firsthand and seeing all the whining and complaining, I lost all respect. "Without the injured Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody, the Warriors started Lendeborg on the wing in his professional debut and had him defend Doncic for a large chunk of the game. Lendeborg had his share of success, holding Doncic to 1-of-6 shooting as the primary defender, according to ESPN tracking stats. But the Lakers offense hummed regardless, scoring 32, 34 and 36 points in the first three quarters to build a 35-point lead. After several physical possessions against each other, tempers flared late in the second quarter when Doncic pump-faked Lendeborg into a shooting foul near the top of the key and let him know about it after the whistle. "That was awful," Lendeborg said.
