Jon Rahm’s return to the DP World Tour at the Spanish Open has sparked excitement. After withdrawing from the previous tournament due to severe flu-like symptoms, Rahm’s optimism and focus on his homeland event seem to defy the swirling controversy. Reports of the PGA Tour’s tensions with LIV Golf defectors have dominated headlines, but he remains steadfast. Now, on home soil, he’s sharing his thoughts on the sport’s future and dropping hints about a potential resolution to golf’s biggest feud.
FlushingItgolf on their X handle shared Jon Rahm’s surprising take on the PIF/PGA Tour negotiations. The Spanish star shared his vision for men’s professional golf. “Just one that allows us to play freely between tours and enjoy the game of golf,” he said. Imagine playing Torrey and American Express in January, then teeing off at DP World Tour events in the fall—no restrictions, no drama. Rahm wants golfers to have the freedom to choose their own schedule.
More than anyone, the 2-time major winner is optimistic about an upcoming agreement. He noted, “I think so, with the gossip and rumors circulating over the last few weeks, it seems there’s been a big step forward made. I’m optimistic. I really am.” So, what does golf’s future hold? Rahm’s crystal clear. He said, “There won’t be a merger or unified world tour… things will carry on as they are, but players will be allowed free movement as they used to be. Let the players choose where they want to play.”
