According to a recent report by Golf Digest, Jon Rahm, the former world number one golfer, is regretful of his decision to join LIV Golf and would willingly return to the PGA Tour if possible. A ‘tour insider’ revealed that Rahm thought his status in the game was secure regardless of where he played, but now realizes that his move to LIV Golf has significantly reduced his visibility and appeal.
The source stated, “I am 100 percent positive that if Jon could give the money back to the Saudis and come back to the tour, he couldn’t write the cheque fast enough.” This sentiment suggests that Rahm’s lucrative deal with LIV Golf, estimated to be around $566.4 million, is not as fulfilling as he anticipated.
Rahm’s decision to join LIV Golf in December 2023 was a surprise, given his previous statements expressing loyalty to the PGA Tour. He had criticized LIV Golf’s format and stated that his life would not change if he joined the breakaway tour. However, the promise of a substantial payday apparently changed his stance.
Now, Rahm is said to be disillusioned with his decision, feeling that his move has led to a significant decrease in his exposure and interest in his play. The source noted, “Now there are only four times a year when he’s playing that anybody is remotely interested.”
Rahm’s regret is further evidenced by his recent admissions of missing out on certain PGA Tour events and his hope that his move would accelerate negotiations between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf’s backers. However, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has suggested that an agreement between the parties is unlikely for years to come.
Despite his apparent buyer’s remorse, Rahm has stopped short of publicly expressing regret over his decision. Before withdrawing from the 2024 U.S. Open due to a foot injury, Rahm stated that he was in a “happy place” and had had a “wonderful career so far.”
Rahm’s emotional response to his first LIV Golf victory in Staffordshire last month may have been a glimpse into his true feelings about his decision. As he clutched the trophy, his visible emotions suggested a sense of relief and validation, potentially hinting at his underlying dissatisfaction with his choice.
