Royal Bank of Canada terminated its sponsorship deal with Dustin Johnson after he was included on the list of PGA players slated to participate in the first LIV Golf Invitational Series event.
The event, which runs from June 9-11 at Centurion Club outside London, interferes with RBC’s Canadian Open in Ontario between June 9-12, a PGA Tour event. In reaction to Johnson’s decision, the bank decided to end its backing with the two-time major champion.
In addition to Johnson, RBC also ceased its relationship with Graeme McDowell, who also made the decision to play in the LIV series.
