Jon Rahm has added his voice to the calls for a merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf to go ahead, with the Spaniard eager to be able to move freely between the two rival circuits in the future
Jon Rahm has thrown his support behind a merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf , emphasising that free movement of players is his main concern for the sport's future.
Talks have been ongoing for over a year between PGA Tour chiefs and the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, which backs LIV, but there hasn't been much headway. The potential deal would likely allow players to transition between tours more freely, and Rahm is hopeful that an agreement will be reached soon, allowing him to tailor his playing schedule to his liking.
Rahm continued: "With the gossip and rumors that have been circulating over the last few weeks, it seems there has been a big step forward made. I'm optimistic. I really am."
