I struggle with the growth to the sport part that gets tossed around. But alas, I don't care. Rahm going there doesn't change my opinion of LIV.
Official Jon Rahm thread
They get rid of the stupid logos when there is a team Callaway and this gets a lot more interesting. Other OEMs will jump in

I don’t disagree on the growth part. But….
Im not gonna lie. Im on the to hell with Monahan train so this is exciting to me.
The Rahm news is exciting but the idea of Callaway getting on board (if true) would be the big news
This signing makes me sad as the LIV team format to me has not interested me since Day 1 and their broadcast production over the past 2 years has been a joke in my opinion although I have probably at most only watched 30 minutes total. Will I watch more LIV, I highly doubt it. Just wait for the majors to get my feed of Rahm.
I don’t blame Rahm by taking the money but I also see it as a strong last minute bargaining ploy by the Saudis to get the deal signed, or else.
I wonder if the DP Tour caved and will allow him to play in future Ryder Cups, my guess is yes, similar to the US team allowing Koepka to play.
The next 2 weeks could be pretty exciting behind closed doors at PGA HQ.

Concessions were made to Rahm about format. My guess is that they will play for 4 days instead of 3. This would open up more Points in world rankings regardless of cut like the Hero
I don't see what the big deal is. Sure he wanted the money, like everyone. Let me know if Jay turns down a pay increase when he becomes CEO of the new entity. I have a spoiler alert for you....
LIV becomes a bit more watchable, the majors stay the same....the merger is more likely
LIV will be killed in 3 years and everyone will be back together again.

Grow golf my ass.
Bye Rahm, I’ll only see you in the majors now!
Not a LIV fan and never will be.

He only went for the money, nothing else, so why post a BS commnet. Golf will not grow with LIV it will be a sideshow for a few years.
It's fun to watch LIV players get beat when they play the majors. See yah Rahm, ya bum.

Money talks, always!
Your move, Monahan Callaway. Things just got very interesting.
Can’t say I’m more likely to follow LIV with Rahm, but it’s a step in that direction.

The Callaway part is the most interesting
Kinda cool. I am not sure about the grow the game part but you have to say it and you can’t say no to that money.

LIV just doesn't interest me. I get this and at the same time I don't get it. At some point these two tours have to merge, no? And it seems like Monahan really screwed this one up.
I think this would open so many doors and honestly might have e big factor in the ball rollback not happening for LIV since they aren’t under USGA.
I know people (not necessarily you) want him to say he just went for the money....but i'm sure LIV does not want him to say that LOL
hence the marketing BS.
If someone gives you 300M and says "in your press conference just say you want to grow the game please"
Yes, sir!
They’re not? I think they play by those rules
It sure does! Monahan took the money and told all the players they weren’t as important as he led them to believe. All bets were off at that point.
