After half past twelve at night in Spain it was the Jon Rahm the person in charge of making his signing for LIV Golf official in a connection with North American television FOX that lasted just over 8 minutes. Rahm, who was wearing a typical American baseball jacket with the LIV Golf logo, confirmed the news in a brief interview. “As you can see it is official, after all the rumors, I am officially a LIV Golf player“
In a tense conversation, Rahm answered each of the American journalist’s questions: “It was not an easy decision, I have had a very successful career and I am very happy, but the LIV Golf have some interesting things“First of all, the team game, I’ve played team games since I was an amateur and I love it, and as a professional we don’t have many opportunities and it’s a lot of fun.”
In the question the journalist has directly referred to the dizzying figures of his contract that have been leaking.
“…Has a possible contract of 600 million dollars“Is that true?” asked the journalist. “I can’t comment on any of that, it’s something private and will remain private…” responded the Barrika player before assessing the economic issue. “It has been a great offer, the money is great, but as I said before I don’t play golf for money, I play for the love of this sport, but as a family father I have the obligation to give the best opportunities and resources possible to my family and this has been an important factor.
For Rahm it is also important to have the responsibility of being the captain of one of the teams: “I hope I can build a team where the children of Spain in the future want to be part and can do something special.”
