Jon Rahm’s Unexpected Move: From PGA Tour Allegiance to LIV Golf Driven by Financial Factors

In a surprising move, Jon Rahm shifted from being a PGA Tour loyalist to joining LIV Golf in December a Saudi-backed series. Rahm who had previously expressed allegiance to the PGA Tour revealed that financial considerations played a significant role in his decision.

He acknowledged the substantial change in golfer compensation as a crucial factor. Despite having declared loyalty to the PGA Tour just two years earlier, Rahm explained that circumstances had changed citing a new agreement framework between the PGA Tour and PIF.

Rahm acknowledged concerns about potential negative media backlash but emphasized his right to make decisions for the well-being of himself and his family. The move raised eyebrows due to Rahm’s prior commitment to the PGA Tour but he highlighted the evolving landscape and his duty as a father and husband to secure the best future for his family.
