Greg Norman breaks silence after Jon Rahm’s LIV Golf U-turn claims

A report suggested that Jon Rahm regretted his LIV Golf and was wanting a return back to the PGA Tour, and now LIV CEO Greg Norman has had his say on the claims

Greg Norman has hit back at claims that Jon Rahm would happily hand back his LIV Golf riches in order to make a return to the PGA Tour.

On Friday, a Golf Digest report revealed that Rahm was keen to go back on his £450 million deal with the Saudi-backed series in a bid to regain his playing rights on the PGA Tour. “I am 100 percent positive that if Jon could give the money back to the Saudis and come back to the tour, he couldn’t write the check fast enough,” an anonymous source claimed.

The report comes just eight months after the former world No. 1 penned a record-breaking deal with the Saudi-backed series, which ultimately cost him his spot on the PGA Tour.

In that time, Rahm has won over £10.5 million in prize money, and banked his first ever LIV title at LIV Golf UK at JCB Golf and Country Club late last month. Amid the reports of unrest from the Spaniard during this week’s LIV event at Greenbrier, Norman has fired back.
