PGA Tour give in to Jon Rahm demand after Masters champion linked to LIV Golf move

Jon Rahm previously called on the PGA Tour to provide more restroom facilities at its events, but after the latest information. It appears that the Spaniards forced their will on them.

John Rahm’s call for more portals to be offered at PGA Tour events appears to be paying off, with the US-based circuit offering a number of new portals for players in 2024.

We are planning to introduce amenities.
One of those amenities for him is expected to be additional restroom access, according to his PGA Tour notes obtained by Sports Business Journal.
The memo says the tour will have “private and convenient locations along the route, flushable toilets available in both the front nine and back nine, water and dry snacks provided.”

Bass Racing has promised to provide restrooms for his four players every nine holes, giving Rahm and company eight usable restrooms on each course.

Addressing this issue in August, the Masters champion said: “I can tell you right now that my priorities are much lower than many people realize. If I were to do it on demand, it would sound very stupid, but it would be as simple as putting a portable toilet in every hole.

“It may sound crazy, but you don’t choose when you have to go to the bathroom. I’ve said this many times to tours, and it’s very simple, and I think it makes it better for tours. It’s just the simple little things. That said, “They’ve done a phenomenal job all year long and it’s just added to the consistency.”

For the latest information on tour amenities, see the two-time major champion. This comes just hours after Bunker Red reported that Rahm was in talks to join LIV Golf. The paper claimed that the chances of Rahm joining a breakaway league any time soon were “off the mark” but that he was “closer to it than ever.”

Since its inception last summer, LIV has attracted a number of his PGA Tour’s biggest names, including Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Cam Smith. Signing Rahm could be their biggest contract yet.

The Saudi-funded series has been at war with the PGA Tour since it began last summer, but despite the bad blood, Rahm is one of the men who has stayed away from the struggling game. However, that did not prevent him from commenting on the story, as he appears to remain neutral.

Just weeks after forming LIV at the U.S.
Open last June, Rahm pledged his allegiance to the tour, but could understand why some of his teammates were eager to move on. “I think the PGA Tour has done a great job of giving us the best performance,” Rahm said.

“I think LIV Golf has an appeal that other people see. “I say this with caution, but I understand some of the points and arguments they could make as to why they like him. In recent times, the Masters champion has downplayed the possibility of a move to Saudi Arabia and seems conceited to make fun of his LIV-rumors. “I laugh when people spread rumors about my LIV golf,” he told Golf Sin Etiquetas.

“I never liked the format. And I always have a good time with Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia in the practice rounds of majors. Phil [Mickelson] respects my decision, and I respect his [choice]. Mickelson has told me that I have no reason to go play for LIV, and he has told me that multiple times.” According to reports though, it appears Rahm is now open to the chance of joining Mickelson, Garcia and the LIV setup.
