Jon Rahm Regretting LIV Move?

[Vinsk]

Report: Jon Rahm desperate to rejoin PGA Tour and give back LIV millions

---

Jon Rahm would give back his LIV Golf riches and return to the PGA Tour in a heartbeat, according to a report...

I still don’t understand his repeated claims of, ‘this wasn’t/isn't for the money’ when he hasn’t given any other good reason why he went to LIV.  Greed kiddo. You’re not fooling anyone but yourself.

No surprise if true. He wasn’t like Phil fading into the sunset…his career had so much legacy potential, which in mind, he sold out for dirty money.

I don’t remember the source now but I read something about how he thought that him being a high profile player in his prime would have moved the needle more than it has. I assume he thought he could have his cake and eat it, too.

[GolfLug]

Well he bet on having his cake and eating it too but the merger didn't/hasn't happened. Jay Mohammed has screwed him over. 

[Vinsk]

Greedy and selfish Greg Norman will never acquiesce to changing the ridiculous 3-day/Shotgun/no-cut that is only one of the downsides of LIV GOLF. 
 

LIV GOLF: It may be boring as hell, but it’s louder!

LIV is the place where golf careers go to die. Early retirement for a fat paycheck. Bryson DeChambeau is the only guy that seems to have made it work for him. Plays well in the majors and has a big YouTube following. I don't think he has any regrets, but I'm sure he would be happy to play more PGAT events if he could.

I think the YouTube Golf concept is going to keep growing. There are already several YouTube golfers who have more ‘success’ than a good chunk of LIV players.

Brooks won a major and nearly won others.

Do I think that the PGA Tour puts players through tougher tests? Yes. But is also a case by case basis. Players may be like Brooks and Bryson are doing enough on their own time to compensate for the LIV format. But if a PGA Tour player isn’t doing enough on their own time that they are probably not gonna succeeded either and probably more so.

Rahm just came out and said the report by Jaime Diaz that he was unhappy with LIV is total BS.

Why should we believe Rahm? He’s lied to us before about not going to LIV.

So he is doubling down on his bad decision!!!!

 

"He thought his stature in the game was secure no matter where he was playing, and it was a bad miscalculation."

So just like golf, you shot your shot and sometimes you miss!

You never know.  But I'd tend to believe someone who says he's not unhappy for being handed a half billion dollars to play golf for a couple of years.  I know it wouldn't upset me very much.

Well, if you spoke ‘ill’ of your position in a new company and criticized an aspect of their methods ( 3day/Shotgun/No Cut) and your bosses were Greg Norman and Al-Rumayyan…it wouldn’t surprise me if he back-tracked his statement rather quickly.🫣

 I think these guys want to make money, I mean who doesn't. However I think once they realize they are no longer relevant their ego takes a hit.
Once they realize they have tarnished their legacy and no longer have the potential to be "one of the greats", there is a little regret.

He certainly didn’t look happy during any of the majors.
