Talor Gooch said Discussion will be held Regarding LIV Golf Format Modifications After Jon Rahm’s Transfer

Talor Gooch said there will be “discussions” about the LIV Golf League moving to a 72-hole format following Jon Rahm’s departure.

While the world number three has never been publicly criticized for making the controversial move between tournaments, Rahm has repeatedly expressed doubts about the LIV’s 54-hole format, labeling it “no wave”. tournament” and his opposition to the lack of discounts. Part of the conversation leading up to Rahm’s big-money contract revolves around the 29-year-old trying to consider some key aspects of a potential employer’s competition before signing on the dotted line.

Following last Thursday’s reveal, Rahm confirmed that LIV Golf will require more format adjustments. He said: “For everything I love about this movement [LIV], there will always be something that isn’t perfect. But in reality it is. I hope the leaders of LIV Golf will listen to my advice and make some changes for the good of the game in the future.”

LIV Golf’s 2023 individual champion Gooch, who moved from Bubba Watson’s RangeGoats GC to Koepka’s Smash GC, said nothing had been decided yet but there could be discussions about the duration of the event as LIV Golf is expected to advance sooner. the 3rd year. Gooch told Australia’s Golf Digest: “He talked about things he didn’t like. But if he thought he was going to win 10 tournaments a year and none, he wouldn’t have. I came to LIV. He is a real competitor. [Ram’s existence] is not interesting.

“We haven’t had an open forum discussion with all the players yet. But there are two aspects. There are people for and against 72 holes. “There will be discussions and it will be interesting to see what the outcome is.”

Rahm supported expanding the tournament and possibly introducing divisions, but Gooch suggested a co-ed event like tennis because of the importance of the state. Gooch, who won three LIV tournaments last season, continued: “I think LIV Golf should be different. I don’t think this should be a carbon copy of the rest of professional golf. I stick to 54 holes. “The PGA Tour experience is that Thursdays only come a few times a year and they’re not that important to the fans.

“I’ve always been in favor of … I think majors should be four rounds, but I don’t think everything should be four rounds like tennis. “We want to do everything we can to create not only the most fun product possible, but a product for the best golfer.”
