BREAKING: Jon Rahm makes a spectacular return to the PGA Tour and announces his resignation from LIV Golf

The 29-year-old Masters champion’s big-money move to Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf has sent another shockwave through the sports world.

 

Masters champion Jon Rahm defected to Saudi-funded LIV Golf for what is believed to be more than the PGA Tour’s total prize money, but the blow has further deepened the rift in the golf world as the two countries negotiate a trade deal.

 

Rahm confirmed the decision in an interview with Fox News on Thursday. Wearing a black jacket with the LIV logo, he said it wasn’t an easy decision.

 

“I’m very happy,” Lam said. “But there’s a lot about LIV Golf that’s very attractive.”

 

His compensation is reported to be in the $500 million range, but he said he would keep the amount of the contract secret, likely including some equity in the new team. The PGA Tour’s total purse for 2023 was about $460 million. The development comes 25 days before the PGA Tour deadline, with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund set to sign a deal on June 6 to become a commercial partner in a parallel commercial venture with the European Tour.

It was the most memorable moment of my career.”  Brought up in China’s southern Guangdong province, neighbouring Hong Kong, an 18-year-old Feng became the first Chinese player to earn an LPGA tour card in 2007.  The easy-going Feng went on to be the first Chinese player, man or woman, to win a major and lifted 10 LPGA titles during her 14 active years on the tour.  In 2017, Feng became the only Chinese golfer to date to reach the world No 1 ranking.  During a supremely consistent career, Feng registered 18 top-10 finishes in majors, two of them in 2021 even as she was winding down her playing commitments.
