17 players were issued fines last June for playing in LIV Golf events. Sixteen of them paid the $100,000 fee, pennies compared to the LIV Golf sign-up bonuses. The one lone outlaw? Sergio Garcia.

Known for often showing his temper on the course as well as his incredible ball striking, Garcia was one of the most controversial players who left for LIV. He has officially resigned his membership on the DP World Tour alongside Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood.

It remains to be seen whether Garcia will pay his fine or whether he will fight the DP World Tour further!
