The Royal Bank of Canada confirmed it has terminated sponsorship contracts with longtime PGA Tour players Dustin Johnson and Graeme McDowell after they were listed as expected participants for the debut LIV Golf Invitational Series tournament.
"As a result of the decisions made by professional golfers Dustin Johnson and Graeme McDowell to play the LIV Golf Invitational Series opener, RBC is terminating its sponsorship agreement with both players. We wish them well in their future endeavors," an RBC spokesperson told ESPN's Mark Schlabach on Wednesday.
The first LIV event is scheduled to begin June 9 at the Centurion Club in London.
