PGA Tour star addresses Jon Rahm’s LIV rumours after quitting Woods and McIlroy’s league

Jon Rahm decided to retire from TGL earlier this week and re-paired the Masters champion with LIV Golf, but run by a PGA Tour player.

PGA Tour star Hunter Mahan has announced Jon Rahm’s departure from LIV Golf after the new golf league founded by Spain’s Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy decided to withdraw from TGL.
I banned it.

Rahm was one of 24 players who committed to TGL before its launch in January.
However, it was confirmed on Thursday that the Masters champion has withdrawn from the TGL format. The innovative league announced the departure in a statement published by Mirror Sport, before Lahm himself commented on the decision.

“I confirm that I will not be participating in the first season of TGL,” Lam said on social media, citing commitment issues. I still think this is a great opportunity, but it requires a level of commitment that we cannot provide at this time.

“Good luck to all competitors and may the best team win!” Rahm’s departure is a huge blow to Woods, McIlroy and the league itself, and TGL must now find a late replacement, which the initial statement said would be announced “soon.” In the wake of Rahm’s decision, rumors have resurfaced that the Spaniard could be interested in a move to LIV Golf, especially after close friend and LIV star Phil Mickelson said in recent weeks that he would make a decision.
Players who want to participate in the escape sequence.
But former Ryder Cup star Mahan rubbished the rumours.
“There is nothing complicated or subtle about @JonRahmpga’s departure from TGL,” Mahan wrote on X (formerly Twitter) late Thursday.
“He will not go to LIV.
If you want to beat the pros, go to a lot of indoor games.”

This is not the first time that rumors about Lahm’s future have linked the European star to breaking the streak. Last September, LIV Golf’s fan account @LIVTracking claimed the green jacket winner would soon join the Saudi league, a move which prompted Lahm himself to quit.
He replied thanking me for raising PIP.’ Rahm hasn’t competed on the PGA Tour or LIV in the past year and a half, but expressed his feelings about the course’s design earlier this summer.
Refusing to join Greg Norman and his partners, he told the Golf Sin Etiquettes podcast: “I laugh when people talk to me about the LIV Golf League.
I didn’t really like the format.
I always have a great time with Phil [Mikkelsen] and Sergio [Garcia] during practice rounds at major championships.

Rahm even convinced Mickelson, LIV’s biggest supporter, that a switch to the Saudi-backed series would not suit the Spaniard’s career.
“Phil Mickelson respects my decision and I respect his decision,” he added.
“He said there was no reason to go to LIV.
And he told me that several times.”
