Twitter is the one place in the social world where the flow of ideas takes place without any major censoring or any sort of filtering. The channel offers a good medium to come up with new ideas and debates, something which sparked earlier today when controversial commentator Brandel Chamblee took to it.

Recently, a certain Jimmy Hanlin sparked a discussion with Brandel Chamblee about the possibility of players with a strong stature like Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, or Jon Rahm joining the LIV Golf Series. The commentator’s biggest nightmare, Phil Mickelson, has been a strong supporter of the fact that more and more people will join the Saudi-backed league in the future. But despite their loathing for each other, are they on the same side of this debate?

Does Phil Mickelson’s nemesis believe in more switches to LIV Golf?

The tweet made by Chamblee discusses the potential for professional golfers to join or be tempted by lucrative opportunities outside of the PGA Tour, which could impact their legacy in the game. He also said that it is rather obvious that players at some point will get tempted and join in on the other side, but then there are certain players that are the true attraction and won’t defect to the LIV Golf Series.

As per him, this group includes the likes of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy who will not ever leave the PGA Tour. He also spoke about how Rahm has been open to the idea but is bogged back due to the importance of the history of the sport. 

The choice between LIV and PGA should be more than just that based on money; at play should be the player’s personal values and consideration for the broader expectations of the golf community and fans.

Jon Rahm’s loyalty to the PGA Tour

Earlier this year during a press conference, Jon Rahm discussed his loyalty to the PGA Tour in the midst of the controversial $3 billion merger involving LIV Golf, a Saudi-backed circuit.

Rahm was offered a substantial sign-up bonus by LIV Golf but chose to turn it down and remain loyal to the PGA Tour. He further explained that he decided to stay with the PGA Tour because he believes it’s the best choice for himself and the type of golf he wants to play.

He also mentioned that he appreciates what the PGA Tour has done for him and other golfers over the years and he attempts to understand both the perspectives of those who left for LIV Golf and those who remained loyal to the American circuit. While enough water has flown already under the bridge, the winds might turn their direction soon.
