LIV Golf made huge waves in the golf world in December when the Saudi-backed circuit signed Jon Rahm from the PGA and DP World Tours for a mammoth deal reported to be north of $500m.
Rahm's move sent shockwaves through the game and was seen as a sign from the Saudis - the Public Investment Fund that bankrolls LIV Golf - that they have the financial power, and desire, to continue on the path of poaching the biggest names in the sport if a deal isn't made with the PGA Tour.
