“What a Sellout”: Jon Rahm’s ‘Suspicious’ Decision Towards PGA Tour Leaves Golf World in Agony

With LIV Golf cheerfully preparing for its next season, it is again a moment of confusion for PGA Tour fans from around the world. As the new season inches closer, suspicion regarding possible defectors to LIV Golf also seems to be on the rise. One such famous professional golfer who has sparked curious whiffs in the golf world is Jon Rahm.

It is no longer hidden how Rahm has accrued greatness in the world of golf through his skillful and calculated play of the holistic game. A look at his recent accomplishments reveals his insane talent for mastering the game. However, the outbreak of recent news has left the golf world pondering whether it is time for Rahm to say adieu to the PGA Tour.

Has Jon Rahm bid his goodbye to the PGA Tour?

It is no secret that Jon Rahm’s perfect drive and hard work got him the title of 2023 American Express Golf Tournament’s winner. As the details of the 2024 edition of the championship came to life, the golf world expected to see the defending champion make a run for his title. However, a recent revelation about the playing field has ruled out the chances of Jon Rahm teeing it up at the La Quinta Country Club.

This has added fuel to the previously lit fire of Jon Rahm’s possible exit from the PGA Tour. It is rather shocking for the Spaniard to not be a part of a championship where he is the defending champion. While many have speculated for various reasons to be the case, it seems a move to LIV Golf next year is the most plausible one.

The news of his absence from the roster broke out on X. The tweet read, “Defending AMEX Champion Jon Rahm was NOT announced as part of the field this morning during media day.” 

Consequentially, this has sparked varied reactions throughout the golf world regarding the future of Jon Rahm and the PGA Tour. Whether the 29-year-old will make the move or not remains a mystery that only time can decode. However, fans were quick to make their stance on the matter clear.
