Defending Masters champion Jon Rahm is getting a nice chunk of change with LIV Golf, but there is one thing he misses about the PGA Tour.
LIV Golf was always a legitimate threat, but it became much more of a legitimate tour when it got the defending Masters Champion to join. Jon Rahm shocked the golf world in December when, after much criticism of the new tour, he joined LIV for what's assumed to be an absurd amount of money. Rahm once said that 54-hole tournaments aren't real golf and that $400 million would not change his lifestyle.
Sure, all that money is nice, and it seems that Rahm knew what he was signing up for – while a fat paycheck, his golf legacy would forever change, even despite winning the Masters last April. But Rahm won plenty more than just that green jacket. Prior to his move to LIV, he had 11 PGA victories, including the 2021 U.S. Open. The two-time major champion seemed to hint there is one large aspect about the PGA Tour that he does miss. 'For everyone who said this was going to be easy ...
Rahm said it was difficult not to be at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera and The Sentry in Hawaii. He added it was 'hard not to be at Phoenix Open.' Of course, Rahm will be defending his Augusta National victory, and he'll be there placing the green jacket on someone else – unless, of course, he goes back-to-back. 'It is not an easy decision because I've had a really successful career, and I've been very happy.
