The Masters champion, Jon Rahm, has confirmed he is joining LIV Golf in a massive coup for the Saudi-funded breakaway. The Spaniard will become the second current major champion on the LIV circuit along with US PGA winner Brooks Koepka. After widespread reports this week that the 29-year-old was set to complete a controversial switch from the PGA Tour, Rahm explained his decision in a conference call with press on Thursday. “I love the game of golf and I’m on the side of golf, right, when I’m ever going to discussions. I want golf to succeed. And the second, that at the end of the day, a man is going to make a decision of what’s best for him and his family, right? It’s that simple.”

Why don’t LIV sign Scheffler, Hovland, Aberg. They don’t seem that serious about destroying the PGA tour. They still want a seat at the table. They would cancel the 54 hole shotgun start , team format in a heartbeat if Jay agreed to a full merger. PIF Pga Tour maybe have a couple of events in Saudi Arabia.
It's a no brainer that he joined, generational wealth👏
Just say it was the money. It's fine to admit it. To bring Seve's name into something like this decision and say his legacy was part of the decision is a disservice to his memory.
I loved watching you golf, but I will no longer be watching you. Seve? He probably rolling over in his grave.
So many countries and big companies make business with Saudi Arabia. No one has a problem with that. Why we are so focused on sportsmen in this context?
Why does every person have to lie , you already got the money and everything , your life and your next 10 generations lives are set … you got the offer you wanted , you can play less , you can have fun , the music on the course makes no difference whatsoever 😂 also Phil and other did pitch the idea to you , so don’t lie and so nobody ever did
Way to go Rahm
Glad to have you on LIV
Keep whining 😢
Im out,You talked some 💩 Rahm about the format and traditions,👎
