Greg Norman has further fuelled his rift with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
The LIV Golf chief executive will leave his role in August having been replaced by Scott O’Neill.
Norman has been in the role since the Saudi-backed league was formed in 2021.
The controversial rival to the PGA Tour has faced criticism from some of the sport’s biggest name, most notably Woods and McIlroy.
Meanwhile, the pair’s new TMRW Golf League (TGL) began this month with the start of its inaugural season.
The TGL combines traditional and simulated indoor golf in a team format, featuring players from the PGA Tour.
However, Norman has no plans to watch the new league, due in part to comments made by McIlroy and Woods in the past regarding his involvement with LIV Golf.
Back in 2022, McIlroy said: “There’s a few things that I would like to see on the LIV side that needs to happen. I think Greg needs to go. I think he just needs to exit stage left.
“He’s made his mark, but I think now is the right time to sort of say, look, you’ve got this thing off the ground but no one is going to talk unless there’s an adult in the room that can actually try to mend fences.
“Then things can happen. But right now, it’s a stalemate because there can’t be any other way.”
