As Chaos Reigns Over $3B Merger, Sergio Garcia Makes a Candid Confession About His Unwavering Bond With Jon Rahm

When LIV Golf was first introduced, and a few former great PGA Tour pros switched, the move left a certain stain on the friendship between golfers who left and the ones who decided to stay back. There was a lot of turmoil that unfolded afterwards, and PGA Tour pros called out the LIV Golf defectors on their decision. Other than the friendships being affected, LIV golfers even faced the wrath of the PGA Tour, and other significant golf authorities.

One friendship that appeared to have survived the LIV Golf vs. PGA Tour storm is that of Sergio Garcia and Jon Rahm. Both the Spanish golfers had shared a close bond with each other in the past, and according to Garcia’s recent interview, the two are still very close with each other and seek advice from one another.

Pointing out the friendship between the two, an interviewer recently asked Garcia as to what his suggestion would be for Rahm if he ever asked him about joining LIV. Garcia said that the only thing he would share with the 2023 Augusta Champ was his experiences and how things have been in the Saudi league. 

Praising his friendship with Rahm, Garcia said that he likes the fact about his relationship with his fellow Spaniard that they do not make decisions for each other. Extending further about their relationship he said, “We can give each other advice, and day this is what is happening, this is what I am going through and what I am experiencing. And then you know given the most amount of information, he can make the best decision for himself.” 

Garcia was asked the interesting question about Rahm’s entering LIV Golf, because of the exciting information that the LIV Golf’s recent Greenbrier champion shared about the league’s future plans.

LIV Golf has been on a high growth curve this year with all the feats that are coming the Saudi league’s way. Although the league’s inaugural season was tough, for its second season, the Saudi league has only picked up the pace. One of the most astonishing milestones for LIV Golf this year was the PGA Tour announcing a $3 billion merger with the aforementioned league. Just recently as well, LIV golfer, Bryson DeChambeau shot a historic round of 58, that too with a bogey, and was highly acclaimed in the golf world. 

After his Greenbrier’s historic win, the golfer made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show wherein he revealed that there would probably be two more teams being added on to the LIV Golf Clan. DeChambeau’s words pointed out that fans will get to see 8 more players getting added to the LIV squad.
