Jon Rahm to LIV??
 

There are reports that Jon Rahm will go to LIV for $600 million!!


Jon Rahm planning to bolt PGA Tour for LIV Golf in potential $600 million coup

I think he's as good as gone!!!

Who could blame him?

Blood Money

Still will not get me to watch. Team golf works for college; just no interest in pro league. :throwtomatoes:

I am not a fan of team golf either, or LIV, but 600m? That's incredible money, even for a pro golfer. I don't blame any of them for taking the $. I don't like it, but I understand it.

I find LIV more entertaining then the PGA and as they continue to add players, if they keep the same entertainment, it could grow. PGA is sliding backward so will be interesting to see how the merger impacts the product.

I was at 2nd Stage of Tour Qualifying in GA last week. I was told by an insider whose name many would recognize, that it's been a done deal for almost 3 weeks, but the number isn't $600M ... not that we'll ever know the real number.

Apparently it became official, as I was typing the post above:

LIV has plenty of "star" players, yet their TV viewing numbers are dismal. Rahm is not likely to improve them one bit.

The PGA is in complete disarray, I'm not sure LIV's low TV ratings are all that relevant.

Monahan probably won't make it to March as Commissioner.

& with Koepka, DJ, Cam Smith, Mickleson & Rahm, LIV has star power. Not many people care about watching Scottie Scheffler or Jordan Speith, regardless of their talent.

According to the NY Post,
the “five best players in the world right now are Scottie Scheffler, McIlroy, Rahm, Koepka and Smith. Three of those five players are with LIV Golf now.”

Bye and close the door.

LIV will allow a lot of golfers to retire young and enjoy the family, philanthropic efforts, bucket list items, etc.

He said he didn't do it for the money???
