JON RAHM TOLD HE’S REALISING LIV DECISION HAS CONSEQUENCES OVER ‘FOMO’ COMMENTS

Jon Rahm was told by LIV Golf critic and Golf Channel reporter Eamon Lynch it’s clear he is having some regret over his choice to join the rival league.

Jon Rahm ‘sounds surprised’ he’s missing out on PGA Tour events that are meaningful to him.

At least that’s the verdict of long-time LIV Golf critic, Golfweek columnist and Golf Channel contributor Eamon Lynch.

Lynch was discussing the recent comments Rahm made about his desires to see the fractured men’s game brought back together.

Talks between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabian PIF continued this week with key figures from both sides meeting in the Bahamas.

Tiger Woods was reportedly ‘an engaged figure’ during the talks with PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan and the two even played golf.

Despite the two sides finally talking it appears we are still a considerable length of time away from white smoke emerging from Ponte Vedra Beach.

Rahm believed that Lynch would play a key role in speeding up the peace negotiations.

He thinks that the Spaniard may earn a significant amount of money from LIV and return to the PGA Tour with his pockets filled. “Earlier this week, Rahm told the press that he has found it challenging to watch certain PGA Tour events, particularly at the venues where he has previously achieved victory.” Lynch mentioned during the broadcast that there is a slight feeling of FOMO, also known as fear of missing out.

“I find it fascinating that Taylor Zarzour, the play-by-play commentator, made a convincing argument in our discussion.”

“I believe Jon Rahm thought he would have a significant impact when he departed, causing progress to speed up and advance further.”

“And Jon Rahm is starting to understand that it is not going to happen in the near future.” It is assumed that progress will result from this meeting, however, it will not be rushed.

Jon Rahm is unlikely to return to the PGA Tour with a substantial amount of money anytime soon, regardless of what he may have been advised by those who were persuading him to compete there.

He added: “It seems a little poignant some of the comments [he made]. He realises he’s missing out on events that mean something to him and mean something to his family.

“But ultimately this is a lesson that LIV guys have got to learn that decisions have consequences.

They often discuss the world ranking issue as if they should be shielded from the decisions they made and the resulting consequences.

Jon Rahm was fully aware of what would happen to PGA Tour players who visit LIV, making his case quite clear. He no longer participates in regular PGA Tour events, although that could change in the future.

He appears taken aback by a choice he made and the resulting outcomes, which he should have anticipated. Next month at Augusta National, Rahm will have the chance to see his old PGA Tour colleagues again.

The Masters beings on 11 April and the 29-year-old is attempting to become the fourth player in history to retain the title.
