Rahm’s Defection: A Deeper Meaning?

Alan Shipnuck suggests that Jon Rahm's switch to LIV Golf isn't just about the reported $300 million deal. He views this as a critical commentary on the PGA Tour's internal problems, stating, “Rahm’s change of heart is also a repudiation of the Tour leadership and a commentary on the increasingly fractured and politicized Tour membership.”

Mickelson’s Alleged Insight

Intriguingly, Shipnuck ties Phil Mickelson to the narrative, noting Mickelson's rumored prior knowledge of Rahm's decision. This connection hints at a broader web of information and relationships within the golfing elite, with Shipnuck asserting, “Phil knew what he was talking about.”

Implications for the PGA Tour and LIV Golf

Rahm’s move to LIV Golf, according to Shipnuck, is a significant blow to the PGA Tour and a triumph for LIV Golf. It raises serious questions about the future of the PGA Tour and the proposed $3 billion merger, especially as the December 31 deadline approaches.
