In a surprising turn of events, golf star Jon Rahm joined LIV in December prompting speculation about potential defections from the PGA Tour to the rival league. The lure of a substantial signing bonus has been a key factor in these moves, providing a boost to LIV’s credibility. However, despite rumors of multiple players considering a switch significant defections have yet to materialize. Australian pro Lucas Herbert joined LIV in January but other rumored players including Tony Finau have reaffirmed their commitment to the PGA Tour.
The recent Dubai Desert Classic was anticipated to shed light on potential moves with players like Tommy Fleetwood and Tyrrell Hatton in focus. Fleetwood downplayed the rumors, emphasizing his continued commitment to existing tours. Hatton acknowledged conversations with LIV but remained non-committal about his future with the PGA Tour. The evolving landscape of professional golf and ongoing negotiations with LIV highlight the uncertainty surrounding potential defections. As LIV looks to fill three spots before its start in Mexico, the golf world eagerly awaits the final decisions of these players.
