With days until the third LIV Golf season begins with at El Camaleon Golf Club in Mexico, Troy Mullins has revealed she is leaving her position as an on-course commentator and feature reporter in the LIV Golf broadcast team.

The 36-year-old announced the news on Instagram, writing: “After a lot of thought I’ve decided to leave @livgolf_league after two years!

“I’ve loved every minute of the fun and interesting work I’ve done and the experiences I’ve had.”

Mullins had been an integral member of the LIV Golf broadcasting team, along with Dom Boulet, Su-Ann Heng, Arlo White, David Feherty and Jerry Foltz, and had been in the role since the circuit’s inaugural event, the 2022 LIV Golf London tournament at Centurion.

The Californian’s position marked the latest chapter of a varied career that began as a track and field athlete before a serious hamstring injury sustained in 2008 saw her turn to Long Drive Golf, with her first Long Drive Championship coming in 2012. Mullins, who at one point had harboured ambitions of becoming an LPGA Tour player, also currently holds the world record for longest drive by an American woman - 402 yards.

Mullins’ decision to step away from her LIV Golf duties adds to the uncertainty days before the 2024 League gets underway, with several things we still don’t know about the upcoming season.

For example, players including Lucas Herbert, Adrian Meronk and amateur Caleb Surratt are reported to be joining LIV Golf, although there has not yet been an official announcement. There is also uncertainty over the field size, which is expected to increase to accommodate a 13th team led by new signing Jon Rahm. Meanwhile, LIV Golf has announced a big Spanish TV deal but there is still no confirmation on how other viewers outside the US will be able to watch the action.

Mullins has been replaced by former LET pro Rachel Drummond who joins the broadcast team.
