John Rahm has opened up about finding "joy" in LIV Golf as the competition heats up for the championship, despite rumours swirling that he's eyeing a return to the PGA Tour . Rahm appears to be having second thoughts about his move to the Saudi-backed league. Golf Digest quotes an unnamed "veteran tour insider" who believes Rahm would ditch the league if he could.
"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," they claim the source said. Yet, Rahm seemed upbeat when talking to the press before teeing off at The Greenbrier, discussing the fight for the top spot among LIV Golf players. The 29-year-old, who has two major titles to his name, is currently trailing behind the 25-year-old Chilean talent Joaquin Niemann.
He also praised his close competitor and U. S. Open winner Bryson DeChambeau, who is returning to the venue of his remarkable 58-shot win that claimed his first solo LIV Golf victory.
Rahm commented on the upcoming challenge: "I think that's something maybe more in my mind come Sunday, today is just the beginning, I just want to start the right way," he shared. "It's always a joy to play with players like Bryson and Joaquin. They didn't have the best day especially Joaquin on the greens, he played beautiful to the green and didn't make really any.
I wouldn't be surprised if those two were to make a comeback on the weekend. (They're) more than capable, one of them has .
