“Tiger Woods’ Ex-Golf Coach Drops SHOCKING LIV Golf / PGA Tour Revelation After Jon Rahm Rumor!”
Haney considers a number of the best PGA Tour players – and not Rahm – have a lot of ‘regret’ over not having accepted big-money moves to join the LIV Golf League.
Woods’ ex coach made his feelings be known after hearing LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman rubbish a Golf Digest report that claimed superstar signing Rahm was unhappy and wanting a move back to the PGA Tour.
Rahm, 29, reportedly accepted a five-year deal in the region of $600m to join LIV Golf at the end of 2023.
According to Golf Digest’s latest article on Rahm, the former World No.1 is desperate to get back on the PGA Tour and even prepared to hand back millions to LIV Golf in the process.
Rahm has only won once in 12 LIV Golf tournaments so far this season and he was beaten by Brooks Koepka in a playoff at Greenbrier on Sunday.
Koepka has now won a record five times on LIV Golf.
Rahm does, however, hold a narrow lead in the season-long race to be crowned individual LIV Golf champion heading into the final regular event in Chicago from 13-15 September.
But it was shock claims about Rahm’s general unhappiness on LIV Golf that drew the biggest headlines last week.
Norman hit out at the speculation.
He admitted it was complete nonsense, especially having spoken to Rahm’s manager on Friday.
Norman said during the second round broadcast at LIV Golf Greenbrier:
“I read an article that came out yesterday about how Jon is so unhappy here and wants to give back his money. It’s just so asinine when these people say this stuff because it’s so not true. When you speak to Jon’s general manager like I did last night, it’s laughable! I just truly don’t get it. I truly don’t get the divide. The division is still there when we are actually showing how we do work within the ecosystem and how the ecosystem is accepting us and how the people are speaking out there. I just don’t understand why it is this way. It really tells you how there is a lot of deep seeded something there, but we are going to keep plowing thru it. Yes, stay true to ourselves, exactly right.”
Even Rahm himself laughed off any suggestion he was unhappy on LIV Golf.
‘They just make sh*t up,’Rahm said of the Golf Digest article.
