PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. — Jon Rahm didn’t necessarily break any news Wednesday at Riviera Country Club but he did make his most definitive comments about his decision to stick with the PGA Tour while distancing himself even further from any Saudi-backed breakaway golf league.
“I wanted to take this time to say that this is my official, my one and only time to talk about this, where I am officially declaring my fealty to the PGA Tour,” he said. “I’m a PAC [Player Advisory Council] member and I have a lot of belief in Jay Monahan and the product.
“There’s been a lot of talk and speculation on the Saudi league and it’s just not something that I believe is best for me and my future in golf and I think the best legacy I can accomplish is on the PGA Tour.”
