Tyrrell Hatton’s fiery temperament was once again on full display at the LIV Golf Dallas event, as the Englishman unleashed a scathing tirade over course conditions—specifically targeting one hole he dubbed the “worst on the planet.”
Known for his outspoken nature and animated reactions on the course, Hatton didn’t hold back his frustration during the second round of the tournament. After struggling on the par-4 7th hole at the Golf Club of Dallas, Hatton was heard on camera delivering a series of profanities as he slammed both the layout and the setup of the hole.
“This has to be the worst hole on the planet,” Hatton barked, clearly exasperated. “Absolute [expletive] design. Makes zero sense. You’d have to be blind to think this is good golf.”
The moment quickly gained traction online, with golf fans and analysts divided over Hatton’s latest outburst. Some praised the LIV Golf star for his honesty and passion, while others criticized his lack of professionalism and respect for the tournament.
Hatton, who joined LIV Golf in late 2023, has continued to deliver consistent performances on the breakaway tour, though his temper has occasionally drawn headlines. This latest episode is one in a long line of animated moments that have become synonymous with the fiery Brit.
Despite the controversy, Hatton remained focused on finishing the round, though visibly rattled by the experience. His post-round comments did little to cool the situation, as he doubled down on his criticism during a brief media appearance.
“I’ve played a lot of golf around the world,” he said. “But that [hole] is just embarrassing. I don’t care what anyone says.”
Tournament organizers declined to comment directly on Hatton’s remarks, but sources close to LIV Golf suggest the hole in question had already received complaints from other players regarding its difficulty and inconsistent conditions.
As LIV Golf continues to build its identity in the professional golf landscape, moments like these highlight the passion—and polarization—that players like Hatton bring to the tour.
Whether fans see it as entertainment or disrespect, one thing is certain: Tyrrell Hatton isn’t afraid to speak his mind, no matter how explosive the fallout.
