Several players are in negotiations to join Jon Rahm’s squad, according to LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman.
Commissioner of LIV Golf Greg Norman states that although Jon Rahm has been “flooded” with calls from players interested in joining his new team, there are still only “2-3 spaces” available.
Earlier this month, Rahm dealt a devastating blow to the PGA Tour by agreeing to a ground-breaking arrangement to join the Saudi-funded golf league.
The competition will be expanded to include the Spaniard on his own squad.
According to Norman, Rahm’s decision is significant for LIV Golf and players’ adoption of the 54-hole format, which combines individual and team golf.
Additionally, he states that “8–12” players who are not already affiliated with LIV are eligible to compete for the remaining roster spots that are available to join Rahm’s squad.
Norman stated to ESPN: “I believe that word is spreading among all players worldwide, including the greatest players in the world.
They adore our platform, our format, and the attitude and enthusiasm of the company.And to tell the truth, this year has seen a very, very loud resonance for it.
Jon is, of course, a fantastic addition to our group.To be quite honest, I know that ever since Jon signed, he has been approached by countless players who have expressed their want to play for his team.
How am I going about that?My staff and I, along with the rest of the C-suite within the company, have also been overloaded.
Hand on my heart, I know that between eight and twelve.
Although there were rumors that Tony Finau was in talks to join Rahm, he has subsequently declared his support for the PGA Tour.
Tyrell Hamilton has also been connected to a move, but he hasn’t spoken on it yet.
Rahm emphasized the value of the team structure when he made his announcement about joining LIV, persuading him to retract his earlier remarks.
The importance of working as a team is paramount, according to Rahm. Being a football fan growing up, I learned that teams mean a lot in Spain.
I spent several years playing for both ASU and the Spanish national team.
For the majority of my career, I have played on a golf team. Getting that chance carried with it a lot .
