Spieth opens up on Rahm’s LIV standing as PGA Tour threat dropping Masters champ

The Spaniard making the Saudi transfer would show to be one of many greatest chapters within the PGA Tour-LIV saga but, having established himself as one of many world’s prime gamers in recent times. The two sides are at present in talks to log off their ongoing framework settlement, with the PGA Tour set to companion up with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF), LIV’s most important beneficiary.

As issues stand any deal is but to be signed off, with doubts forged over whether or not an settlement will formally be made earlier than the December 31 deadline. If Rahm’s transfer does undergo, it stays to be seen whether or not the mega-money deal would deliver the 2 rival sides nearer collectively or additional away, with each the Tour and PIF initially hoping to incorporate a clause which might cease them poaching different gamers – a rule revoked by the United States Justice Department.

Tiger Woods has already offered his thoughts on any Rahm switch, and one other man who hopes Rahm does stay with the American-based circuit is fellow inexperienced jacket winner Spieth. “I’m not sure specifically how it would impact those negotiations, but all in all, Jon Rahm is one of the biggest assets that we have on the PGA Tour,” Spieth stated at this week’s Hero World Challenge.

“So it would really not be very good for us in general, because we want to play against the best players in the world, and that’s what Jon is. I know there’s been some guys that have talked to him. I know he’s maybe weighing some decisions, maybe not. 

“I really don’t know, so I don’t want to insult him and say he’s weighing decisions if he already knows he’s not or he is. That’s somewhat out of my control, in a way. Obviously, I could speak probably on behalf of 200-plus PGA Tour players in saying that we really hope that he’s continuing with us.”
