Id respect these guys more if they just said "they offered me truck ton of money thats why im here"

[frozentundra]

"It's all about the bucks' kid, the rest is conversation"... Gordon Gekko

[DeadSeaGenesis]

Oh please Rahm. It was that BIG FAT bag of cash that landed you on the LIV Tour. Admit it!

[scottevers]

Good on him. The PGA is well and truly under the pump now. That said - It's about the money Jon, you don't need to try and BS us!

[SebastianHAL]

Liv: come with us!
Rahm: no, i dont like the format and money isnt everything
Liv: half billion dollars for you
Rahm: whoa- im signing for liv

[sodesccsl]

I remember Jon Rahm use to say on an interview that he's after Seve's legacy to win majors and that you can't achieve that on LIV golf so that is why he is staying on the PGAT, but I guess money changes everything lol

[thiagosquair]

The issue is not moving from pgatour to LIV, but saying what he said last year about legacy and money wouldn’t be the case and then moving. It’s the hypocrisy.

[golferorb]

He doesn't owe anyone anything. He changed his mind on things like we all do. People are acting so entitled because he changed his mind as if he owes them anything.

I know I'm in the minority with my opinion but I like Golf. So I like to watch the PGA Tour and LIV. I don't understand why there needs to be a divide. The more golf the better. Jon Rahm is still one of the best players in the world and I don't care which league I get to watch him in.

[soothsayerbh]

Its a shame I'll never see him play golf again .

[TopShankersGolf]

wonder where the team aspect ranked in his list of 450 million reasons to move

[dhayalan]

These players always says they are going to LIV to provide for their families. Feels like they are struggling to make a $ in PGA. There way to provide to family is a Yacht, Mansion, and Private Jet.

[peterhammer]

Rahm shouldn't mention Seve in this or any other interview. The legend would never have joined that kind of 🤮. Rahm was one of the biggest opponents of Liv, now he is there himself. Some moving of goalposts indeed....

[rubenpangilinan]

He once said doesn’t do it for the money but yet here we are. Everyone has a number and money always win..

[lou]

This is sad. And i actually dont hate LIV but I thought Rahm was always so genuine and raw when he spoke…plenty of LIV guys have been honest about the money aspect snd are still on the tour. Just so disingenuous

[kms]

He did it for the money. Don't insult peoples intelligence. When Saudi Arabia has got what it wants from LIV they will pull the plug.

[DKBollhoefer]

He is so full of it. Just say “several hundred million—next question”

[manuelinsua]

All the money, zero glory, What a deception, Jon

[joseburkert]

There’s only one team golf competition and thats the Ryder cup … the LIV format is a non starter for me … and for Rahm to say that’s what he likes .. then sorry John you are completely DELUDED

[Shinobi]

He joined for the same reason anyone else would.. Money. There is literally no point in even asking him.

[pistola]

No hall of fame for non Pga players make it happen PGA, im sure $on would be devastated not to be beside his idol.
