“He Ain’t Tiger”: Jon Rahm’s Reported LIV Golf Contract Worth $550+ Million Divides Fans

Jon Rahm

There has been speculation after the Ryder Cup that Jon Rahm is probably switching to the LIV league. While the World No. 3 hasn’t spoken on the speculations surrounding his potential move, his sudden backout from Tiger Woods’ tech-based league, the TGL, and the Hero World Challenge can’t be just a coincidence. Moreover, Rahm shares deep connections with Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia, the LIV compatriots. Out of these two, Mickelson allegedly spoke of Rahm as a “done deal” for LIV, according to Alan Shipnuck, which the six-time major winner later denied. 

A recent report has claimed that Rahm is expected to sign a deal worth $550 million or more, and that he might have his own LIV team. But as these rumors circulate, they have created an evident division in the golf community. Let’s see what the fans have to say about this!

Fans React to Jon Rahm’s Massive LIV Contract

A fan made a bold claim regarding Jon Rahm’s loyalty to the PGA Tour:

Another fan expressed his disappointment over the news:

A fan saw the merits of this move for Jon Rahm, which would bag him enough money and exemption to all the majors:

A fan found the ‘earth-shattering’ context to be a bit of an exaggeration because Jon Rahm is not Tiger Woods. Even other top-tier golfers who switched were forgotten:

Again, another fan reflected on the same thought: since Rahm is not Woods, he won’t be noticed:

A netizen compared golf with the NBA in a negative light and that it is not worth watching:

A fan stated bravely that Jon Rahm will be replaceable on the tour:

Another online enthusiast suggested that he would take money if he were in Rahm’s place. But he expects Rahm to admit that:

A person censured the golfers who play for money and not victory cups. He holds LIV to be responsible:

A cybercitizen gave a list of the next LIV targets:

Whether the news is legitimate or not, nobody knows unless Jon Rahm himself addresses the matter. But one thing is for certain: Rahm’s move to LIV Golf will have a huge impact on the future of the PGA Tour and its players. What would that constitute? Only time will tell.
