Tyrrell Hatton's walk-up song was apparently a not-so-subtle hint about his LIV future

There are more questions than ever regarding LIV Golf's future right now, but fans may have gotten at least one answer in the form of a walk-up song on Thursday.
That's right, a walk-up song. It appears Tyrrell Hatton got a bit cheeky with his choice as he teed off for his first round of the LIV Indianapolis event.
The tournament is now the last event of the LIV season after the finale previously scheduled for next week in Michigan was canceled. And with the Saudi PIF pulling its funding earlier this year—possibly due to a Sergio Garcia Masters outburst!—it's possible this is the last LIV event ever.
But apparently, it's more than possible it's the last LIV event for Hatton, who picked Queen's "I Want to Break Free" blaring for his Thursday intro in Indy. And according to Fried Egg Golf's PJ Clark and Joseph LaMagna, who discussed the situation on Friday's Shotgun Start podcast, Hatton told other players it was a not-so-subtle hint he's leaving LIV after this season no matter what happens with the league.
As X handle Flushing It reports, Hatton is expected to return to the DP World Tour in 2027.
Now that's making your walk-up music count. Hatton, who left the PGA Tour for LIV in January of 2024 to join Jon Rahm's newly formed Legion XIII squad, shot an opening 67 in what seems like his, well, swan song.
Of course, Rahm's future has also been the topic of conversation this week, but he hasn't given any concrete indication that he wants to break free yet. In any event, we're pretty sure Hatton isn't behind that Legion XIII banner that's been flying overhead in Indy this week.
