"It was unexpected what happened" - Jon Rahm opens up on the PGA Tour-PIF merger deal
Jon Rahm recently spoke in a press conference at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club and opened up about his thoughts on the PGA Tour-PIF merger. He openly supported the PGA Tour commissioner, Jay Monahan, who was under the radar for quite some time due to secrecy in the merger deal.
However, the Spaniard felt that the decision that the management took the decision without informing the players was unexpected. He said (via The Guardian):
"As it comes to what he's been doing for us and the PGA Tour, I think he's done a fantastic job. I would say it was unexpected what happened. I think what the management of the PGA Tour, the turn they took without us knowing was very unexpected, but I still think he's been doing a great job."
He added that it is important to give the PGA tour management time to deal with the merger things:
"And right now after that happened, I only think it's fair to give them the right time to work things out. I still think they have the best interest of the players at heart. All we have right now... it's a framework agreement. It's an agreement to have an agreement. We really don't have anything right now to be able to say or judge what they've done."
It is quite evident that Jon Rahm is one of the top golfers who were unaware of the merger deal between the golf giants. However, he seems to have made amendments to the deal and the PGA Tour and certainly backed them up too.
