The PIF-backed league, LIV Golf, is supposedly after Jon Rahm as they look forward to recruiting him for their 2024 season. The Rahm and LIV rumors are making the rounds on social media, however, neither party has confirmed anything.
One thing that has caught the eyes of the public is the reported $600 million deal Rahm is getting from LIV Golf. Tiger Woods‘ former mentor, Hank Haney, tweeted about how Rahm would be losing good money and being out of his mind if he rejected the deal.
The supposed deal is by far the most expensive offer made by LIV Golf since its inception. Previously, JJ Watt also chimed in and shared his thoughts on the matter saying that if the numbers were to be trusted, he would physically force Rahm to sign the deal.
If that deal is on the table and Jon Rahm doesn’t take it he is totally out of his mind. https://t.co/Nab36S2Lci
