on Rahm’s decision to leave the PGA Tour for LIV Golf sent shockwaves throughout the game leading to a host of opinions on both sides.On Sunday morning’s editions of SportsCenter on ESPN, Rahm revealed that he got two very different responses from two of golf’s biggest names, who also happen to be two of LIV’s biggest critics.“Rory has been supportive publicly of my decision and he was privately as well,” Rahm told ESPN’s Marty Smith in a pre-produced piece.Rahm’s comments allude to McIlroy’s statements in the wake of Rahm’s shocking December decision. Shortly after Rahm’s announcement, McIlroy called for the Ryder Cup eligibility rules to be changed to make sure Rahm would still be on the team in 2025.
Well, there’s been a lot of talk over the years of certain players going, and it was speculation until it happened because there’s been rumours of names going and not going, and whether they materialized or not,” Woods said at the PNC. “So Conflicting reality and western charm: My first taste of Texas was was just speculation till it happened.”
He wasn’t asked about Rahm at all during last week’s Genesis Invitational before he withdrew from the tournament with the flu.Woods, however, isn’t the only big name from the PGA Tour Rahm hasn’t spoken with since his jump to LIV Golf. He also told Smith he has not talked to PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, despite his desire to continue playing PGA and DP World Tour events.
