McIlroy and Rahm ‘discovered of LIV Golf merge on Twitter’ as golf star speaks out

American skilled golfer, Sahith Theegala has reacted to the news of the merger agreed between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. The deal has caught each followers and high 10 gamers, together with the likes of Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm, off-guard after an settlement was signed within the midst of an ongoing fued and litigation battle.

Theegala, 25, made his skilled debut in June 2020 on the Outlaw Tour’s Lone Tree Classic. The Californian is on the PGA Tour and in a screenshot shared on Twitter, the American expressed his shock on the news of the merger.

The textual content message learn: “Just craziness, I mean I’m sure there’s a reason for it but it’s not going to be a good enough reason for the utter lack of communication.

“I imply how are top10 gamers on the planet discovering out on twitter. But I’m biting my tongue til there’s extra stuff we hear. No means gamers are gonne be happy with this”

Players in the top ten golf rankings include Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy and Patrick Cantlay.

It’s not the first time that Theegala has spoken out about the controversial Sauid-backed Liv Golf Tour. In an interview with Golf Monthly in 2022, when asked if he would choose between money and a chance to compete in the Majors, he said: “Oh, Majors for positive, not even shut.

“OK, I don’t want to say like money isn’t a factor because anyone who says it isn’t a factor is lying. It’s a big factor. But I think if you asked a lot of the guys out here that truly – they do it to make money, but once you’ve kind of established yourself out here, you can make enough money playing golf on the PGA Tour and it is not about that anymore for lots of men.”

According to Bartstool Sports, Theegala shouldn’t be the one golfer who has been blind-sided by the news. Players have been left “shocked and confused” and “disgusted” that they weren’t told prior to the release.

The merger has come at an awkward time, just one week before the US Open is set to get underway at the Los Angeles Country Club. The merger could also have an effect on this year’s Ryder Cup. LIV golfers had their tour cards taken away from them previously but it remains to be seen how the new agreement will effect tournaments going forwards.
