‘Just Speculation’: For Tiger Woods, It Was All Jokes Until Jon Rahm Made the Gutting LIV Golf Decision; Per Latest Confession
The LIV Golf has made a lot of waves since its inception in 2021. Moreover, ever since the Breakaway League started, many, including Tiger Woods, have been very vocal in their opinion regarding the same. However, the PIF-funded circuit again turned many heads when Jon Rahm made a jump to the Saudi-backed league. What’s more, it seems as if the news has even caught the attention of the Hall of Famer.
When the conjecture around Rahm’s defection rumor became a reality, it caused a lot of commotion in the golfing world. During an interview, the 15X major champ did share his reaction to the jump, which was startling even for the pro.
In the press conference after the first round of the PNC Championship on Saturday, the American shared his thoughts behind the Spaniard joining the Saudi-backed league. Responding to the query, he said how “there’s been a lot of talk over the years of certain players going” while referring to players jumping to LIV Golf.
Adding on, the PGA Tour pro pointed out how “it was speculation until it happened because there’s been rumors of names going and not going and whether they materialized or not.” Continuing with his reaction, the 47-year-old divulged, “So we assumed it was just speculation till it happened,” all the while revealing how he thought it was nothing short of gossip when the news first hit the golf world.
