We were not able to come to terms with Ben on a potential contract extension, due to his upcoming Love Island appearance and an unfortunate clause involving “exclusive sunbed rights” and “mandatory slow-motion walks.”

As a result, Ben has withdrawn from the Tour with immediate effect.

We’re grateful for everything he contributed during his time with Tour Golf — including the elite vibes, the strong accessory game, and the relentless commitment to looking like he’s “just popped out for a quick nine” while being 4-over through 6.

We wish him the best as he begins preseason training for life’s toughest back nine: microphone chats, terrace politics, and attempting to explain golf handicaps to someone who thinks a fade is a haircut.

Tour Golf will provide further updates if Ben’s agent stops asking for a villa upgrade, a personal hype team, and a Ryder Cup exemption “based on personality.”
