Masters champion Jon Rahm bolted for Saudi-funded LIV Golf on Wednesday for what's believed to be more money than the PGA Tour's entire prize fund, a stunning blow that deepens the divide in golf as the two sides were negotiating a commercial deal.
Rahm confirmed the move in an interview with Fox News, during which he wore a black LIV letterman's jacket, saying it was not an easy decision.
“I've been very happy,” Rahm said. “But there is a lot of things that LIV Golf has to offer that were very enticing.”
