Golf, Arab LIV buys number 1 Jon Rahm
The contract signed by the Spanish star would be more than $500 million
Jon Rahm, currently the world's No. 1 goal scorer, has officially left the world of the PGA Tour to play in LIV Golf, a league in the hands of the Arab investment fund PIF (the same one that has gotten its hands on so many Old World soccer players). The news, reported by CBS, certifies how Saudi Arabia is deeply determined to expand in goal as well.
There is talk of a crazy financial contract with Jon Rahm. The Spaniard will cash in over $500 million for signing with LIV Golf (unofficial figure). The world #1 goal scorer left everyone speechless: "It's been a big proposal. The money is a lot. Obviously, è fantastic. But what I say è I don't play golf for the money", he declared in 2016 upon his move to the PGA Tour, words reported by CBS.
L'having lost an absolute phenomenon like Jon Rahm è a very hard blow to the PGA Tour, which has always è been considered the top of world golf. Having to give up the 1994 Spanish outfielder makes the entire PGA Tour less strong. LIV Golf, at the moment, seems to be able to really afford anyone and claim the title of the best golf league around.
