World No. 3 Jon Rahm leaves PGA Tour to join LIV Golf
Following massive speculation, it has been confirmed that 2023 Masters Tournament winner Jon Rahm has decided to leave the PGA Tour and join the new LIV Golf League.
The deal is expected to be three years long, and is worth more than $300 million. Additionally, Rahm will also be offered the opportunity to create his team along with an ownership stake.
The deal has been extremely controversial due to the proposed timing. Recently, the PGA Tour and the PIF-funded league attempted to put out an agreement for the mutual commercial interests of both parties.
Interestingly, Jon Rahm is the second reigning Major champion to leave the PGA Tour, after Cameron Smith in August 2022. The 54-hole format league has now found a new face as Jon Rahm becomes the first of many in this new wave of transfers.
