Rising star Nick Dunlap wins as an amateur golfer on the PGA Tour and is the first to do this since 1991 when Phil Mickelson won as an amateur golfer. Now, this week Nick Dunlap has pulled out of the Farmers Insurance Open, a BIG event on the PGA Tour, and this has sparked vicious rumors that Nick Dunlap will forgo his PGA Tour status for a lucrative LIV Golf contract. In this video, we go through the key interview that he has recently given where he was asked 2 key questions:
1. When will you be turning pro?
2. Will you be staying loyal to the PGA Tour?
All these rumors are getting bigger and bigger as Jon Rahm still does not have a full team ahead of the first LIV Golf event in Mexico in February. This is his time to bolster a squad of world-class golfers ahead of the LIV Golf 2024 season.

There are some crazy rumors flying around right now all about Nick Dunlap and he’s definitely created a bit of a stir now this week he has pulled out of the Farmers Insurance after his record win as an Amer on the PJ tour last week and actually the first Amit to win since
Phil Mickelson in 1991 live golf rumors have been circulating now in an interview he addresses these rumors he answers two key questions one when is he turning pro two is he staying loyal towards the PGA Tour because he has this multiple year exemption after that win or is he going
To go to live golf now I want to put something into context here before we go into exactly what he said in his interview please hear me out here now as much as he is an amate golfer he is pretty much a pro in every sense of the
Word apart from the simple fact he can’t earn any money now the reason why I’m saying that because he is the US amateur Champion he plays in National Championships he plays in amateur championships he is pretty much represents himself like a pro he practices full-time he has support from
Manufacturers in terms of clothing in terms of equipment and this is the key thing he has a management company already now the right why rumors are really speculating around him the management company that represents him has strong ties towards live golf so I know the fact that he’s an amateur right
Now but he is pretty much already a professional and that is said to be the same for a lot of the elite amateurs on the ladies and the gents side when they get to the very top but let’s get into exactly what he said let’s go into the
First question he was asked by reporters this week when is he likely to turn professional now it was a very very predictable answer he said he’s not sure he wants to take some time to discuss it with his family his coach and his girlfriend now it’s important to note
Because he won the US amateur he has invites to play the open the Masters the US Open okay one thing you’ve got to understand is if he then turned Pro he would relinquish his chance to play at the open this year in Royal TR but if he did
Turn pro he would be offered a place at the US PJ championship at Valhalla instead so he loses one but gains one now remember he can then go and earn money or does he want to play an amate Championship also if he did turn pro he would be invited to all 11 very
Lucrative Signature Events after his win so you got to look at it this way he might for go an open spot I mean he could still qualify as a pro but he’d have to re-qualify but he’d get a chance to play in the US PJ Championship he’d
Also get into all the elevator events the big money event so let me ask you a question question right now would you stay amate to guarantee an Open Championship or would you turn pro so you can go and play for all the money and that is an interesting one now
Again he hasn’t really said much on this but it will be coming out soon so let’s go into the second question he was asked is he going to stay loyal towards a PJ tour or is he going to go to live golf now it should be noted that two live
Golfers John RAM and Phil Mickelson were very very quick to congratulate Dunlap after his win now I want to get into this bit I mentioned about a management company before we go into what he says Dunlop is represented by GSE and his agent Kevin canning works on the deal
That brought Jason kokra to live golf GSC also represents other live golfers such as Bryson Des Shambo Abraham aner Paul Casey yakim Neeman Sergio Garcia Lou usas car ores Sebastian Mo mooners Brandon Grace Eugene charre and meito Pereira a lot of golfers who are represented by this management company
Play live golf and this is why there are some strong links because doing what he’s done as a US amateur champion and as a PJ tour winner as an amateur there is going to be a huge price on his head to go and play live golf because that
Would be a mass massive massive thorn in the side of the PJ tour you’ve also got to think John Rams still hasn’t filled his team and he’s desperate he’s got to be desperate to be getting a big name to come and join him after Fleetwood said no Windam Clark Boyard brothers and and
Tony fenale so let’s go into exactly what he said so he was asked is he going to join Liv Golf and he said this as of right now I have no idea I I really don’t I don’t know if it’s cocky or not I’ve always grown up dreaming of playing
On the PGA tour and making a put just like a little bit ago to win a PJ Tour event now as much as we’ve hearing a lot more about the PJ tour here he doesn’t give a definitive answer it’s very wishy-washy and this is why people are really speculating after him pulling out
Of the farmers’s insurance and answering the question right now as he did as of right now I have no idea I really don’t okay maybe I’m reading between the lines here a little bit but let me know what you think I’m just bringing you the breaking news in this story so let’s go
Into uh this a little bit further he said that was my dream to do that I’ve always tried to chase something that nobody else has done that’s why I’ve always put in the work that I do I want to do something special and something memorable not only for me but maybe to
Leave something behind for somebody else to try and follow and gaug at for me that’s tiger right like I probably won’t ever be as close to some of the records he set but I always want to try and put myself you know trying to chase
Him I know exactly ex I know I know that’s an extremely high bar and I don’t know if that comes off really cocky or not but for me that’s something I consider him the greatest ever and for me to try and Chase that and to be in
Somewhat of a conversation with him is like I said it’s a dream come true that’s why I do what I do now I’ll leave there for you to decide what you think on that interview it’s very much 50/50 in my eyes a little bit towards not answering it but very positive towards a
PJ tour it almost Echoes what Roy maroy and a few other PJ tour players have said over the last 18 months they want to chase down records that have already been set and Liv golf unfortunately right now doesn’t have those records I know we had the 59 from Bryson we had
Those sort of Records but there’s no records that are in deep esteemed history now I guess the reason why we’ve got so much speculation so many rumors are flying around is I mentioned it John Ram still hasn’t filled his team now as soon as we get more information on this

There is a lot to said about this rumour and we are getting so close to the start of the LIV golf season and Jon Rham has NO TEAM
Why would you join LIV being so young ? Whats the advantage ? Won't get into to majors later on.
Imagine what LIV would offer him. Currently he’s in the box seat and good on him, it was a great win
I don’t believe that Nick will join LIV golf. And if he does, I’m not sure why he would start his career with LIV.
justin thomas pulled out to. does that mean he is going to liv also. stop trying to drum up subscribers. you are a liv ass kisser!!
I think the first question for him is do I finish college, I think that answer will define what happens next as far as turning Pro and where he plays. I believe he still has two years left at college.
Does Rahm seems like a desperate caracter…think not….but everybody else whos eager to find who it will be in his team… is…just keep calm and relax…Rahms got everything under control ✌🏻
It would be the best move he could possibly make, and finishing school would be a waste of time.
Stop feeding the rumors please
Im going to accept your conclusion regarding Nicks Major invitations, but I am not convinced that they are completely accurate. I believe that once you earn a trip to Augusta you get that spot regardless of whether you turn prior to the Masters or not.
Don't think that you can use the term LOYAL to the PGA Tour when referring to an amateur.
Ummm … how about exemption earned by college student should apply after he finishes college or whenever he wants to.
