Tony Finau Kills Massive LIV Golf Rumors but Still Appreciates Defector Jon Rahm’s ‘Best Decision’
The golf world was sent into a frenzy recently when rumors circulated that Tony Finau had decided to shift to LIV Golf. Finau himself decided to come forward and clear the waters, stating that no decision has been reached yet and he is content to focus on playing for the PGA Tour.
The story began when popular golfer Jon Rahm, one of the highly sought-after names, decided to switch to LIV Golf last month and caused ripples in the professional golf industry. As a result, the speculation surrounding Finau’s possible departure from the PGA Tour to join Rahm at LIV Golf seemed inevitable.
However, the rumors have now been put to bed as the 32-year-old Finau put an end to the speculation himself. In a statement released on Monday, Finau said, “No, not yet. I haven’t let anything marinate other than just playing right now.” This has put an end to the speculation and it is clear that Finau is focusing on playing for the PGA Tour for now.
Even though Finau has decided to remain with the PGA Tour, he has praised Rahm’s decision to switch to LIV Golf. He believes that the decision is a great one and one of the best that Rahm could have made. He said, “Jon is a great player and he’s obviously one of the best players in the world. He made the best decision for himself and I’m sure it will work out for him.”
The decision made by Rahm to sign with LIV Golf was a shocker and it is clear that Rahm was offered a great deal by the company. LIV Golf is the first company to offer a $1 million dollar bonus to a golfer before they even tee off at a tournament. The bonus was offered to Rahm if he finished in the top-10 of any major championship in the next two years.
This offer clearly grabbed attention and it is no surprise that the rumors spread regarding Finau’s possible move to LIV Golf. Finau himself has praised the offer and stated that he appreciates the commitment to the golfers, stating, “The bonus is an awesome gesture and a huge move in the right direction. It’s a great way to promote golf and I’m sure that other companies will follow in LIV’s footsteps.”
The decision by Finau to stay with the PGA Tour should come as a relief to the golf fans. While the decision may not be what LIV Golf wanted, Finau is content to stick with the PGA Tour and focus on improving his game overall. Finau is one of the most popular names on the circuit and is a great ambassador for the game.
At the same time, Finau is appreciative of Rahm’s decision to switch to LIV Golf and believes it was the best decision for him personally. He also acknowledges the positive effects this move has had on the golf industry and praised LIV Golf for their commitment to making the sport more accessible to the masses.
Finau has put an end to the speculation and has made it clear that he is content to stay with the PGA Tour for now. Rahm’s decision to switch to LIV Golf has been praised by Finau and he believes it was the best decision for the Spaniard. This move by LIV Golf to offer a million dollar bonus to Rahm has attracted attention and Finau is appreciative of the gesture by the company. All in all, it is great to see that the golf industry is headed in the right direction and has the support of the likes of Tony Finau.
