Two more LIV Golf defectors are in flux with one of their biggest sponsors.
According to the Sports Business Journal, Mastercard has paused its long-time activations with Ian Poulter and Graeme McDowell due to "uncertainties around their standing."
Poulter has been sponsored by Mastercard since 2009 and McDowell has been a brand ambassador since 2011.
"We appreciate the role they have played as ambassadors for Mastercard and the Tour for the past several years," Mastercard SVP/Communications Seth Eisen told the Sports Business Journal Friday.
Mastercard has sponsored the Arnold Palmer Invitational since 2004 and has been the official card sponsor of the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions since '95.
