“He doesn’t have ‘deals’ like Tiger and Rors” – Fans react to reports of Jon Rahm playing all of his U.S. Open practice rounds with LIV golfers
Jon Rahm is said to be joining LIV Golf following the PGA Tour's announcement of a merger with the Saudi-backed series.
Rahm, who received the offer last year, declined the LIV Golf contract in order to remain on the PGA Tour. However, now that the Tour has agreed to work with LIV Golf, reports are circulating that he may shortly join the Saudi series.
The LIV Golf Nation has recently tweeted that Jon Rahm will be playing all the practice rounds of the US Open with LIV golfers.
"Jon Rahm playing all of his practice rounds this week with LIV golfers is extremely revealing. Rahm is clearly sending a message to all the divisive players and media members," the tweet read.

"Jay Monahan, under the terms of the deal, has the ability to shut LIV down….. it is in the agreement- I suspect that will happen next year, but LIV will stay in place in some shape or form- probably scaled down," commented another.
