The Masters champion, Jon Rahm, has confirmed he is joining LIV Golf in a massive coup for the Saudi-funded breakaway. The Spaniard will become the second current major champion on the LIV circuit along with US PGA winner Brooks Koepka. After widespread reports this week that the 29-year-old was set to complete a controversial switch from the PGA Tour, Rahm explained his decision in a conference call with press on Thursday. “I love the game of golf and I’m on the side of golf, right, when I’m ever going to discussions. I want golf to succeed. And the second, that at the end of the day, a man is going to make a decision of what’s best for him and his family, right? It’s that simple.”
