Jon Rahm to LIV Golf is a done deal and will be announced next week, report claims
Jon Rahm to LIV Golf is a done deal and will be announced next week, according to Flushing It Golf, who was one of the first to announce the news that the Spaniard was considering a move to the PGA Tour’s rival promotion earlier this month.
Rahm to LIV has been speculated about for the latter half of November, after reports came out about a week ago that he was considering a massive move to the Saudi-backed golf tour for a ridiculous sum of what some said could be $600 million.
Flushing It reported on November 22 that Rahm was “in late-stage talks to join LIV Golf and it’s believed the hold up is not financial, but is due to him wishing to modify the format of the league.”
We reported on it as the news started to circulate through the golf community:

Rahm's camp has yet to make a statement about any of the rumors. However, Rahm's withdrawal from the TGL, which was postponed one year due to damage to the league's venue in Florida, started to surge speculation that he was considering a move.
Rahm is coming off of one of the most successful years of his career, where he won on four times last year, including The Masters in April.
