Scotland, who turned into the most youthful Brit to fit the bill for The Open in 1999 matured 18 preceding wounds from a serious auto collision four years after the fact hindered his profession, accepts world number-three Rahm’s alleged longing to betray the golf foundation isn’t just persuaded by funds yet additionally his disappointment with the administration of the PGA Visit and his voice not being heard similarly as any semblance of Rory McIlroy.

The 41-year-old Scotland told the Sky Sports Golf Podcast: “Has he lost faith in the tours and commissioners because of what has transpired behind closed doors? Is this a place where he has gone ‘You know what, I’ve had enough of this now’ and says, ‘You’re all caring for yourselves, so I will take care of myself’?
“I’m speculating however I believe there’s a component of Rahm being weary of being let one know thing and being utilized like a manikin and afterward you [the PGA Tour] simply pull off somewhere unexpected.
“He has been very open that he doesn’t feel appreciated. He could do without that Rory perhaps stands out and is heard a smidgen more than he is. That part is a part of it. He seems to have had enough and is going to act the way he wants.”
Scotland additionally concedes the monetary bundle presented by LIV to Rahm, 29, might be too great to even think about turning down. The Saudis have been a top target for the two-time major winner, who was Europe’s talisman during their Ryder Cup victory two months ago. In exchange for Rahm’s prestige and interest, the Saudis are willing to part with a significant amount of money.
“It doesn’t matter at all to me what your identity is, £400m or anything around that number will have a direction on your viewpoints on the grounds that a year prior he said ‘I have sufficient cash to resign now, I don’t play for cash’, however when I think you get to that degree of bringing in cash, there is cash to resign and afterward there is cash where you begin taking a gander at various things,” Scotland added.
