‘Falling Apart’: As Jon Rahm Elicits Defection Rumors, PGA Tour’s Ultimate Plot to Checkmate LIV Golf Emerges

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s love child, TGL, has announced its launch in January 2024. Gearing for the scheduled launch, the league got busy this past week, in announcing updates. Details about the match format and player signings started rolling out. However, the updates received an underwhelming response from the fans. Meanwhile, Jon Rahm’s sudden and complete disappearance from TGL’s official website has people talking.

Now, the writer who recently released a book on the LIV Golf’s inception and history has revealed a major update on the matter and has shared his thoughts on what could happen right now. Is Jon Rahm actually moving to LIV?

American Author stirs things up yet again in the golf world

After the mysterious withdrawal of Jon Rahm’s name from the TGL website, fans got confused about what had actually happened. There were no official updates from either the TGL’s side or Rahm. A few hours back, Alan Shipnuck tweeted about how “Rahm’s been a long-standing lust object for LIV.” With the recent release of his book “LIV and Let Die” Shipnuck has been engaging in conversations about LIV golf more actively than ever before. Now, his latest update adds weight to the theory about Rahm moving to LIV. Shipnuck more recently tweeted about inside information on the LIV-PGAT merger. He wrote, “the framework agreement is falling apart.”

 He added that the Fenway Sports Group is in talks to invest in the PGAT, which changes the whole narrative. This could be a change in Jay Monahan’s approach toward the merger and could change things. Is Shipnuck indicating that the merger may not come through? Perhaps, yes.

He also speaks about how the whole deal was probably miscommunicated to the public. He opined that maybe the organizations should have just announced that the litigations would be dropped and the rest they would figure out later. Coming back to Jon Rahm, is he moving to LIV? What does Shipnuck think about it?

Although he spoke about the potential for Rahm’s move to LIV, he also mentioned how the Spaniard cares about legacy more than money. He said Rahm values the Majors a lot more than money. Speaking of what could have motivated Rahm’s disappearance, Shipnuck has thoughts on it too.

Shipnuck believes maybe Rahm entered the TGL scene to stand with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. And perhaps with the recent developments, he might have lost faith in the league. Well, whatever the reason, one of the concerned golfers will soon open up on this conflict. And it’s going to be as dramatic as it can get.
