$150 mil offer was not enough. $550 mil is definitely different.
Ask ourselves why Saudi is willing to pay billions of dollars to professional sport players
I love it ! Good for John!!
Good for Jon Rahm! Get your money 💰. You never know what the future holds and now you will have generational wealth! No one else’s opinion matters!
I’m so happy John is a LIV player!! The PGA needs to unban the LIV Golfers or stop crying about damaged reputations, especially because they’re responsible for banning the players to piss on their legacy’s, then talk about damaged reputations.
The PGA tour is responsible for the player split.
Blah, blah, blah. It’s not about growing the game, it’s about growing one’s net worth and having to do less work to make that happen. The Saudis can do this to any sport, any business, any one. The future will be different for a lot of things.
Yeah, legacy and $1.79 will get you a cup of coffee.
Jon rahm isn’t worth a few hundred million? This broadcast is a spotlight to prop up the PGA tour. Get ofc your knees and wipe your mouthes gentlemen
Anyone who has left a job for one that pays more and criticizes players for going to LIV is a hypocrite.
Rahm was committed to the pga tour i believe him in those earlier interviews. But the pga tour did a 180 and betrayed guys who that didn't accept money for the prestige and loyalty to the tour. They go and cut a deal with the saudis anyway right from underneath the pga tour guys. Everyone should leave the tour for poor management, go collect your big pay day, then merge in 18 months anyway. Im with Rahm on this one 100 percent.
Middle aged white guys need to understand times a changing whats important to you is not to others
good for you Jon
You haters at Golf house need to look for Employment at the snowflake channel the one your on,Haters and baiters ,Hack,Cara,shameless,Rich and the rest of your sidekicks,the PGA Pathetic Golf Association.
Money changes everything, especially people. Sometimes its not for the better.
Why has Horchel shut up ?? Cause a second tier player should not be the voice of the PGA !! His chances to win are much higher now. If we could get Rory the "Waffle" to zip it, it would be great. LUV LIV !!! Atta boy Jon !!
LIV golf is a trillion dollar machine and the PGA is still in the Millions big difference when it comes to their Financials so eventually LIV will figure it out on how to take over Golf fully and the PGA Tour will be a minor league in Golf world. 🤔
Money talk BS walked
Let's be honest, and golf is supposed to be a gentleman's game full of honesty, as well as integrity, etiquette, and politeness. Jon Rahm went to LIV STRICTLY FOR THE 600 MILLION. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ALL PRO GOLFERS IS MONEY! Don't believe any of that nonsense about loving the game and titles being the most important. You can always judge people by their actions. Rahm and other golf stars chose the LIV money over anything the PGA Tour had to offer – history, titles, fame, legacy, or loyalty. I'm happy for Rahm. How could anyone in their right mind turn down 600m! Money is the most important thing in this world for 99% of the people. They all have a price, a number, they will accept. More PGA stars will leave for LIV, I'm sure of it. This might be the end of the PGA Tour as we know it. That will be a deserving fate because of their greed that Michelson pointed out, and because they have tried to monopolize pro golf. From the beginning, LIV has had a right to exist and recruit players, who of their on free will join it. Also, all of that talk about Saudi money being blood money because of the Saudi human rights violations and political murders is hypocritical nonsense. Look at the war crimes and murder the USA is supporting with Israel's murderous genocide of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, for one clear example. USA money is blood money too. We live in a world where many corporations and companies make billions of dollars off of war and murder, or off of polluting the planet with smog and chemicals. So, all of the golf tours and professional sports are full of blood money. I don't like LIV's format or their loud music, but with all of that Saudi money involved it is here to stay. I do think we will soon see a merger of the two tours, because that will be the only way the PGA tour survives.
Well, Rahm says one thing and does another……Lost respect for the guy….. Obviously, what he tells the press isnt really what he thinks inside.
Jon Rahm made a tactical decision. He has already proven himself on the PGA Tour, he won multiple times on tour that includes a US Open and the Masters. His "legacy" is already established. He was at the top of the PGA and he figured that he had at this moment in time to take 600 million and that if he didn't do it now his value would only go down. Therefore, it was a business decision and he did what was in his best interest, guarantee 600 million or work on the PGA Tour and with earnings and sponsorship hope to get that much over the next several years. He made the logical choice.
The Saudis have 750 billion dollars to throw at the players, and they love golf and they love LIV. With Koepka and Rahm gone, this is the end of the PGA Tour as we know it. A deserving fate because of their greed that Michelson pointed out, and because they wanted to monopolize pro golf and control their players. The PGA Tour having a cut and then half of the players in the tournament not making any money, even though it's their profession, is greedy BS. No other pro sports league treats their players so selfishly and so badly. There should be no cut, like LIV, and all of the players should get paid. If someone works, they should get paid! Also, from the beginning, the PGA Tour tried to control their players like slaves, telling them they could not play in LIV events, or they would be banned from the tour for life. That was horse shit. Pro golfers are independent agents who should be able to play in any tournament anywhere in the world anytime they want to. Sure, the PGA Tour has its stupid reasons to justify and rationalize its unfair and archaic ways, but they are learning the hard way that Money talks and BS walks.
Read my comments below for more of my thoughts on this issue. What I like about LIV is: 3-day tournaments (4 days is too long), no cut (all players get paid), high purses (wealth attracts fans and TV), Global golf (new great courses and more countries involved), the best players in the world (Rahm, Koepka, DeChambeau, Johnson, etc.), and team play (keeps players focused and trying hard). What I don't like about LIV: loud music (noisy and distracting), shotgun start (removes introductions and drama from 1st tee), and not enough tournaments in the USA (which is the golf capital of the world). Even if the PGA Tour gets billionaire investors, they had better merge with LIV or they will lose many fans. Palmer, Nicklaus, and Woods proved without a doubt, it's the superstars that matter the most. They had better get those golf superstars back on their tour somehow someway, or it's sayonara, ciao, and adios.
The worst part of all it is, is you self righteous commentators that are getting paid by the PGA
I'm not a fan of LIV's format, but the PGA response to LIV always smelled like horse-shit
The wagon-circling with the supposedly independent media & governing golf organizations was BS as well
They could have co-promoted a handful of events per year, but instead they chose to overplay their hand
Now they expect us to blame individual golfers? No. The higher-ups are the ones who botched this
Time to accept the situation as it is an get a deal done ASAP
Jon Rahm absolutely did the correct thing. No one in their right mind would turn down 600 million dollars just to play golf. Rahm can make some good investments and buy some good businesses and become a billionaire in a few years. That's what Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Tiger Woods have done. I don't think any of these people who are criticizing Rahm would turn down that kind of money! As far as the Saudis being murderers and the money being blood money, USA corporations and businesses that compose the Military Industrial Complex have contributed to the killing of millions of people around the world in unjustified wars recently. There's no difference there. Rahm is rich beyond his dreams and will get richer. How many of you don't want to be rich? LOL
LIV is a Circus and the players are circus performers, rich performers. The play for a tee-shirt and a baseball cap. Next week the circus travels to another town. They are not contenders for anything and their skills will erode away. I will not waste one second of my time bowing down to these arrogant idiots! Do you see LIV or LIV circus performers building another St. Judes hospital with all their money! And I am suppose to support their egos! Disgusting!!!
