- ‘We all had the chance to go to LIV and we stayed’
- Spaniard backs Jay Monahan, head of the PGA Tour
The Masters champion, Jon Rahm, has insisted golfers who remained on the PGA Tour instead of switching to the LIV circuit should not be financially compensated, while offering his backing to Jay Monahan.
Monahan’s position as head of the PGA Tour has come under scrutiny after a deal was agreed between his organisation, the DP World Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. The PGA Tour’s commissioner earlier stood in staunch opposition to Saudi involvement in golf, including by urging players not to join LIV. Xander Schauffele, the world No 6, said last week he had “lost trust” in Monahan.
