Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau have left LIV Golf and returned to the PGA TOUR. They dropped four shocking revelations about the dying tour.
In one of the biggest shake-ups in golf history, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Joaquín Niemann, Talor Gooch, and Patrick Reed shocked the world when they collectively announced their immediate resignation from LIV Golf – and more importantly their return to the PGA TOUR.
In Miami, the five-star team organized a press briefing, during which they unveiled what they termed ‘four explosive truths’ about LIV Golf, which they now refer to as ‘the dying tour’.
According to the players, the amounts have not been paid for months despite the announcement that record amounts were being paid. Several winners are still waiting to get paid their full amounts.
The truth is that several games were advertised as “sold-out” or had sparse crowds, while the numbers for actual attendance and viewership were wildly exaggerated.
The executives, team captains, and sponsors of the Olympics don’t get along. Rahm described the situation as “constant boardroom warfare.” This results in erratic scheduling, poor event planning, and a lot of other dysfunctions.
Secret 4: No Clear Future — The long-term viability of the league is in serious doubt, according to Niemann, who claims that several investors have quietly withdrawn over the last year.
Bryson, known for being quite a character, said, “We joined to be innovative and fun above all else. What we found was smoke, mirrors, and uncertainty. Golf deserves better.”.
Players who fled to the rival Saudi-funded tour were officially received back into fold. And now, a former major player will compete at The Players next.
A mass exodus could trigger a domino effect which could lead to LIV Golf’s downfall, golf analysts say. While this is happening, on social media networks fans are divided between welcoming back their heroes and asking why it took so long for the secrets to come out.
