i think when the PGA started going behind the players backs and negotiating with LIV, the players attitudes shifted towards "Every Man for Himself" making it easier for Rahm to make the leap... and THERE WILL BE OTHERS>>>. Rahmbo opened the gates.... wait n see.

[trentonfavor]

He was clear without saying it. Jay going behind their back was it.

[DC-jtpy]

The PGA didn't want their financials made public in the lawsuit between LIV and PGA. LIV knew that and went all in.

[travislethcoe]

The self righteous PGA tried to get paid behind the players backs go get paid boys

[evanzemba]

PGA failed to capitalize on the surge of golfs prominence during Covid, easily could be a much larger sport then it already is. I don't like LIV but I cant deny that they are creating a change that is much needed in the sport.

[salineaddict]

I don’t care for LIV but it’s hilarious seeing the outrage every time. PGA is garbage, it’s amazing seeing this.

[DeborahVerret-ypfp]

The one thing I appreciate about John is he appreciates his fans always!

[toddd.]

The PGA is realizing that they host tournaments.. But LIV Golf is like the Champions league in soccer.

[Bobby-lith]

Pat is AWESOME. Not the biggest fan of Rambo going to LIV, but this interview was very entertaining.

[markhinde]

Great post guys, All the players who towed the PGA party lines to the public were then betrayed, so I guess now it's every man for himself.
Why we are hearing "It's no big deal" and "Nobody watches it" from certain quarters, to the rest of the world he is a legend and people will be watching him irrespective of where he plays, golf is not owned by the PGA, The players are the stars.
Also all John's Major sponsors are 100% behind him, what does that tell you about future media deals for LIV.
Make no mistake LIV will get bigger and bigger, fuelled by all the negativity and disrespect it has been constantly getting from one corner. (it's a mountain of free publicity)

[nigelholdman]

In the past Jon has spoken about Seve Ballesteros and the effect he has had on him and the game of golf in Spain. Throw all of that out the window along with his legacy within the game of golf. LIV is like the Canadian football league compared to the PGA tour, except for the fact the Canadian football league isn't backed by mass murders and terrorists with billions of dollars from the oil industry. . .

[Cluter]

Hell yeah boys. Keep on with the sportswashing.

[FarazKhan-mybv]

anybody attacking Jon for his decision just remember if you was offered life changing money it would be very difficult to turn it down.

[TimLoyalToWifeHaterFreeZoneA]

Love It Pat ThePatMcAfeeShow Bro Let's

[artemira]

He's lost all cred. LIV is a joke. He said so himself several months ago, vehemently. No cred, no integrity, no honor. All about the all mighty dollar, under the cover of the old story line all these guys spew out... to grow the game. Right. Seve is rolling over in his grave.

[DC-jtpy]

I'd take that money in a heartbeat.

[squirrel]

Why go to LIV?
- PGA flip flop with the merger
- PE firms
- Ball rollback
- the PGA
- the money

Reasons to stay in PGA
- 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

[Qrag]

He didn’t take the high road at all lmao, he said 3 days of golf with no cut is not a golf tournament. He’s a hypocrite

[bradleygivler]

Jon Rahm has helped ruin the game of golf. That’s all the fans should care about

[gpac]

Jon has not been playing good golf after the Masters. I think it was a smart move by him because only 2 majors. Kinda crazy to think what Scottie Scheffler would make
