LIV Golf makes Tyrrell Hatton its primary target after being snubbed by 2 Ryder Cup stars. IF JON RAHM and the team can’t land one more proven player, it will be widely viewed as a disappointing supporting cast for one of the world’s best players and arguably the biggest signing in LIV Golf history. Will golfers start to question the framework agreement and start to question Jon Rahms move to LIV GOLF?
LIV has been targeting Tommy Fleetwood, Nicolai Hojgaard and Tyrrell Hatton.Both Fleetwood and Hojgaard reportedly rejected offers from LIV, so they’ve turned their attention to Hatton.After narrowly missing out on Tony Finau last month, the breakaway league only has two weeks to land another big-name player before they open up in Mexico on February 2nd.

So it’s official livol have made trell Hatton their primary target to join John Rams team now in this video we’re going to go through what the rumors are and Terell Hatton himself has finally responded to all the media you know what it’s about time we wanted to hear what
He had to say on this matter but I’m going to say one thing before we get into the story if Liv go right have shelled all this money out for John RAM and they don’t sign a big player to join him that’s got to be a bit of a flop a
It it’s got to be a bit like oh this team’s not going to be as good as we thought or as good as we planned now I actually don’t think that’ll be the case I actually think some big names will join last minute and it will be last
Minute because February is when the first live golf event happens so as we found out Nikolai hogard and Rasmus hogard have already said no we are not joining Liv Golf and and that was their official response to all the rumors they also joined the likes of Tony fena and
Windam Clark on denying live golf which as I said in video a couple of days ago in the breaking news I find that quite strange just purely because of the direction of The Narrative of all the big people in the game of golf right now Jay Monahan Rory maroy heads of the
Rnate it was all very much turning towards a positive Global game so players was thinking like they were going to take big big paychecks before everything happened and almost like getting two payday now the Breakaway league has only two weeks to land big name players before they open up in
Mexico on February the 2nd Hatton you know what would be such a logical fit alongside John Ram um fiery nature Ryder Cup teammates and Ridder cup mates in general like it seems like they’ve created a bit of a partnership ship both on and off the golf course which is
Great to see to see him part of Legion John Ram’s team would be a huge scalp for live golf it would also bring in a lot of people from the UK Market because now we’ve got someone that’s a younger a little bit more current playing on live
Golf and I have to say I think it would be a great fit so cly we have Surat a highly regarded amateur and Vincent who has won a big event on the Asian tour International series joining John Rams team but as I said earlier in this video
If they can’t sign any more proven players or widely respected widely renowned players it’s going to be sort of a disappointing Supporting Cast for one of the world’s best players and one of the biggest signings in live golf history and with all this breaking news
Let me know what you think on this get down in the comments let me know your thoughts what players do we think would be a good fit are there any players that you think would go if they were asked I’m going to say Terell Hatton is still
A huge possibility as I say he is the number one Target right now so let’s go into exactly what Hatton has said so Hatton has admitted to having conversation with Liv golf as he said this I’d say there’s several people who have had conversations I think that’s
Part and parcel of golf at the moment but I’m quite happy playing on the PJ tour and DP World Tour and then he was asked are you staying put haton reply was as of right now yes as of right now yes now there are some rumors no strong
Super strong evidence on this but we have heard that Hatton has already had an offer and this came in sort of around December time he is currently waiting for a counter offer back now I want to know what you think he’s worth the rumors is worth 50 million for someone
Like Tommy Fleetwood obviously we’re not thinking John Ram because that’s just stupid money are we thinking 100 150 million for the likes of tur hatan or are we thinking 70 million you know what this is like it’s like signing a footballer either in the Premier League or American football it’s mad it’s like
You’re getting a sign on fee I I don’t quite get it it doesn’t fit golf it’s a little bit bizarre I’m not going to lie so apparently we’re waiting for a counter offer and Hatton did say this he said he received an offer before Christmas but it’s understood the Saudis
Have yet to come back with an imp approved deal Hatton said I’d say there’s several people who have had the same conversations now I think this is really interesting point we’re fast approaching February February the 2nd where we start in Mexico the mayakoba and what a golf course this looks so
What’s that just under two weeks away I anticipate we’re going to have some big breaking news within that period maybe it could be happen maybe we could see a U-turn from other players but I think they’ve got to they’ve 100% to sign a big player for John Ram otherwise it
Will look like a little bit of a flop I know that might be an unpopular opinion it might be a popular one but certainly it will be a flop now if you want to keep up to date with all the breaking news and who’s signing what’s going on
PJ tour DP wilter and live golf the merger the lot don’t forget to subscribe to the channel and turn the Bell so I can keep you up to date with everything

The latest! Your home of breaking news. I think it’s a matter of days now!
Other than the traditional team tournaments, the Ryder Cup, the Walker Cup, the President’s Cup, and the traditional team events on the Ladies’ side, team golf events on a regular tour is just not appealing, much less exciting.
Not getting Hatton is a major money loss. Legion needs at least one top current player in order to stand a chance. They really do. Give me 250K and i'd be playing pro level lololol. Hatton isn't worth 50 million. Cannot be less that 75 million. Same for Fleetwood, Ramus and Nicolai. Maybe they can snag Wyndam Clarke for that. Getting Finau would be really tough. Why not go for someone like Cameron Champ or Matsuyama or CT. Pan?
Nzmera1 makes a key point below;
These guys are now getting suspended when they sign, as opposed to after they tee it up on LIv. So for owgr points they could technically have an arrangement mostly set up with LIv but are waiting as long as possible To sign to they can get the last of their owgr points. Which as I’ve stated this should not be part of this equation. LIv should be getting owgr points 2 years ago but absolutely no doubt about it they should be getting points to start this season
They have a relegation system and an amazing tournament at that watched the world over. They have many of the best players. The most money. There are precedents for much smaller fields getting points, 54 holes getting points; teeing off from more than 1 tee getting points.
LIv should be getting points for competitive fairness (on so many levels) and then let the market dictate the rest.
Aloha
This is nothing but brinkmanship and negotiations. Timing is everything. Rahm's team will solidify later as the agreement is moved forward. It is about the money and moving over with the least pain possible. Too much up in the air right now.
None of those players are worth $10M. Also, those players saying they said no to LIV are actually deals that LIV said no. Finau raised his price and PIF lowered it and Finau walked. PIF is done with lower skilled players trying to get a big contract. Rahm doesn't need anyone on his team. Also, all those players you talk about were in talks BEFORE Rahm signed. You make it sound like they were approached to be on Rahm's team which is not the case at all.
I don't think there's a pending deadline to sign someone–they'll just fill in with a reserve as has been done in the past. That might leave Rahm with a weak team temporarily, but no weaker than what Brooks Koepka had last year. They could go into March or April before signing a new player and it would all work out okay.
John Rahm should just sign Nick Dunlop to start his pro career with controversy and a bang… 😂
Maybe Rahm has to divvy up the $500m he reportedly received with the others and he was not keen to share much ? 😝
75-80 million is fair for hatton
They tee off in 2 weeks, ofc Rahm got his team by now. Its just a matter of days before the announcement. I wouldnt be surprised if RM is one of them…and just for the same reason Rahm joined. I throw in another name, Sam Burns.
Soooooo, Rham moving to LIV was a “big” or “huuuge” deal, now you’re saying that if no one joins him, then his move is a flop?? I disagree, I think Rham joining is awesome for him, LIV and golf and if no one else does… so what? It has nothing to do with Rham!
If Tommys worth 50 million – Hattons worth same – don’t see him as a bigger name than Fleetwood
Hatton, Finau, Clark don’t really do much for LIV… top younger players are more interesting to see
I have a feeling Wyndham Clark will go. That one makes the most sense. Young player entering prime of his career already exempt into the majors for 5 years. Sounds like a no brainer, don’t get why he wouldn’t go.
If Rahm going 2 LIV was big enough 2 change ROEYs' mind, then it is not a flop, 4 Liv anyway?
Master's champion 1992: $270,000
Master's champion 2022: $2,700,000
$100 in 1992 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $218.64 today
So the prize went up 10X, while counting for inflation it should only be just over $500k
This type of thinking makes me laugh. You are all buying in head first into the agenda of the PIF.
Rahm isn't desperate for anything ! Hundreds of millions of dollars will do that.
LIV had plenty of players with plenty more pining to join.
LIV doesn't need any help from any specific golfers.
They have already won !
A FLOP ?
Are you kidding me ?
They have all of the needle movers, and a fantastic format, and they have already made every professional tour into their feeder leagues.
May as well accept it, the fight is over, and the deep pockets of the Saudi Royal Family won by a landslide !
Rahm will get one big name….
Lets be honest. If LIV had owgr points the players would be paying LIV to play on it. The fact that LIV doesnt have owgr points when they have some of the top 10 golfers on the planet is a disgrace and shameful for the sport. The players who are rejectng LIV are complete morons. They will all be playing together on one tour within 12 months and they are staying loyal to the pga tour that lied to them at every turn. The players think they are getting ownership in a tour for their loyalty, that isn't happening. They believed JM's and TW's lies.
I am really surprised Tony Finau is not considering it at all. With him as such a big family man, @LivGolf offers a lighter schedule with more “guaranteed” money. Not to play with Jon Rahm but to field his own young team.
I don't care about men's golf anymore. I enjoy watching the LPGA much more than the men. It is very competitive and they hit the ball distances I can relate to.
What breaking news are you talking about. Ffs.
You don't half talk pish, Alex. Do you ever talk about anything else.
Not sure you or Rory have a clue
I think golfers would be concerned to sign because they don't have majors gaurateee to them
Nick Dunlap dropped out of the Farmers Insurance Open today, starting immediate rumors he's considering joining LIV.
