🏌️Jon Rahm put an end to all the rumors when he announced on Thursday that he has joined the LIV Golf League. Is Rahm pushing for changes to the tournament format?
🏌️Rahm will certainly get his own team, which means LIV is recruiting at least three new players to join the league’s newest superstar. Does that mean chasing new rumors?
🏌️Now that Rahm is a LIV member, will the directors of the Official World Golf Ranking start changing their minds, too?
🏌️Will Rahm’s signing make it easier or more difficult for the PGA Tour and LIV to reach a definitive agreement?
🏌️In a reversal, Rory McIlroy now says Ryder Cup eligibility should change so that Rahm can remain on the European team. Isn’t changing your mind to protect your interests a little disingenuous?
🏌️And McIlroy is among a handful of players in favor of the USGA golf ball rollback. Does the fact that he is one of the top five in driving distance have anything to do with his stance?
🏌️Tiger Woods finished 72 holes on a flat course at the Hero World Challenge, which begs the next question: Will he be able to walk 72 (or 36) holes at Augusta National?
🏌️LIV players Dean Burmester and Joaquin Niemann won DP World Tour co-sanctioned events in the past three weeks — Burmester back-to-back victories in South Africa and Niemann the ISPS Handa Australian Open. Do you still believe that LIV doesn’t deserve world ranking points?
🏌️Yet the Hero World Challenge — a 20-player field — gets ranking points. Does that even make sense?
