Englishman Tyrrell Hatton will not play in this week's LIV Golf Korea after he and his wife, Emily, welcomed their first child last week, his LIV Golf team announced Monday.

German Max Rottluff, 33, will replace Hatton in Legion XIII's lineup in his LIV Golf debut.

Hatton, 34, will return next week to participate at LIV Golf Andalucia at Real Club Valderrama in Sotogrande, Spain.

Hatton is playing some of the best golf of his career, posting four top-10 finishes in 10 starts, including a tie for third at The Masters in April. That finish marked his highest in a major championship.

Jon Rahm's Legion XIII team this week will feature himself, Tom McKibbin, Caleb Surratt and Rottluff.
