Jon Rahm doesn’t ‘see many ways out’ of his LIV Golf contract
The two-time major champ spoke about his options for the first time since the league announced it’ll no longer be funded by Saudi Arabia’s PIF after this year
Jon Rahm said Tuesday that he doesn’t “see many ways out” of his LIV Golf contract as he spoke openly for the first time about what his options will be now that the league has announced it’s no longer funded by Saudi Arabia’s PIF and is looking for investors for it to continue. The two-time major champion was asked in Washington, D. C.
, ahead of their event at Trump National, if he was able to get out of his contract with the league if he feels like it’s not suitable for him beyond this year. “I have no idea, I couldn't tell you,” he said. “I have very few talents in my life, and reading a contract or business are not two of them.
“As of right now, I have several years on my contract left, and I'm pretty sure they did a pretty good job when they drafted that. So I don't see many ways out, and as of right now, I'm not really thinking about it since we still have a season to play and majors to compete for. So it's not something I want to think about just yet.
” He may not be thinking about it yet, but it’s something Rahm is likely going to have to deal with soon. He’s willing to see what CEO Scott O’Neil comes up with first. “I don't think he would ask anybody to buy into anything without giving us a business plan first,” Rahm said.
