I think he'd have looked unhappy playing as he did regardless of whether he'd gone to LIV or not.

To say it another way, I don't think how he looks when he's playing poorly is an indication of much.

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

What else is he supposed to do? Even it is sunk cost fallacy, he has no options anyway. Coming out and saying that he regrets going to LIV has absolutely zero benefit for him.

Bet he looks happy when he checks his bank account.

I'm an anti-LIV guy myself and as such I'd like to think that Rahm is feeling some kind of regret for jumping ship, but I don't think he's losing a lot of sleep over it.  And by the looks of him, it certainly doesn't seem to have affected his appetite.

Maybe, but the dude never looks happy on the course. He’s like the Roy Kent of golf, plays like he’s angry at the grass. If money truly brought happiness, he’d be whistling Zippity-Do-Dah and skipping down the fairway.

Did he ever look happy on the course?  Even pre-LIV?

I thought he lightened up and played more calm after winning the Masters. He seemed to be maturing. I was a fan of his. I bought into the “I don’t need the money” speak he was giving before he went to the dark side. Really sad IMO. He had already earned many millions by that point.

I think it’s reasonable to think JR thought he was gonna have his cake and eat it too. I do believe he truly enjoys the competition and having all the fans at tournaments.

I think he misses the atmosphere of the PGAT compared to LIV. 
Unfortunately he wants people to believe he didn’t go to LIV for money which is an asinine lie to his fans and himself.

If you were a fan, you would notice his demeanor a lot closer than me, I suppose.  I never really cared much for him.  A ton of talent but was only affable when things were going his way and a super hot-head when they weren't is how I saw him.  Wasn't really sorry at all to see him go aside for the loss to the talent pool.  Funny but most of the players I didn't care for went over there in the first wave.   Sergio, Reed, Pat Perez, etc.

Was anyone ever a Pat Perez fan! 😜

The only guy I've ever heard admitting that he went to LIV for the money was Harold Varner II (remember him?). Just about all the others were told to say they were "building the game" or some other nonsense like that. After a couple of seasons of LIV golf, I've yet to see any "building" taking place. Just a traveling entertainment show for a crowd that likes to drink and party on a golf course.

Pretty solid. And when LIV just had a ‘show down’ between Koepka and Rham for the win….and it got beat out by the Pickle Ball championship for viewers…that’s pretty rough.🤣

Rahm should have played pickelball against Koepka for the win. Heck, they were both wearing shorts already...😆

    • Day 138 (17 Sep 24) - Worked on setup and controlled swings (think punchy 3/4 swings) focused on keeping tempo as smooth as possible (of course this was in a very soggy backyard)….
    • Yes, Srixon is a good $22.99/dz golf ball, but at 60 compression. Worth a try. I have some in my "found" bucket.
    • Currently I changed to Callaway warbird, cheap and hard compression golf ball. For your desired compression I liked the Srixon Soft Feel, also cheap and a better feel off chips and putts.   Also I use Noodle golf balls for practice purposes (sim and practice rounds), they are soft and are pretty decent for the low price.
    • True, at least here in Argentina Coke is Number 1 by far. Pepsi is always the one trying to compare themselves to Coke. Despite that, I love the commercial from 2001 were a little boy purchase 2 cans of coke from a spending machine in order to stand over them so he can reach the Pepsi button.  
    • I'm happy with cheaper golf balls if they have the right feel. What about the Maxfli Straightfli? Supposedly an 80 compression golf ball and at $19.99/dz. Has anyone tried them out yet?
