Message: [QUOTE="nycscooby, post: 4814941, member: 743"] They are working on some sort of merger in which the PGA will manage the LIV product, supposedly they are close to finalizing. As for Rahm, not hard to understand. First, while LIV has not taken off in the US, it has done very well in Europe. Maybe Rahm wants to spend more time in Spain? He has a one year old or so and maybe others to come? So this could be part of his plan and this move provides him more flexibility (the PGA Tour now fines players who don’t play a minimum number of events each year). Since he won the Masters, he can play there for as long as he wants and he is automatically qualified to be in the field for the three other majors for the next 5 years. Ryder Cup is not guaranteed though but maybe he’s thinking that this merger deal will address that issue? Oh, and at least $300 million other reasons plus the ability to own and manage his own LIV team [/QUOTE]
