Jon Rahm has revealed he believes the PGA Tour should be 'thankful' for the formation of their new-found rivals, LIV Golf. Since its inception in June, LIV has proven to be a fierce competitor to the sport's leading circuit.
The Saudi-backed series has looked to lure a number of golf's biggest names away from the American-based tour, thanks to mega-money signing on fees and lucrative prize pots. In response the PGA Tour has looked to stifle LIV's progression.
This came after Jay Monahan and co decided to suspend any players who made the Saudi switch, with the likes of Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau all punished.
