separate agreement with the DP World Tour<\/a> which will make him eligible again to play on the circuit, as well as in next year\u2019s Ryder Cup.<\/p>\nBut it appears the future of LIV could soon hinge on the ability of its CEO Scott O\u2019Neil and its new strategic advisors to secure outside investment. A newly appointed LIV board is being led by advisors Gene Davis and Jon Zinman \u2013 who are said to have \u201cproven track records of navigating complex situations\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of LIV\u2019s latest event in Virginia, Rahm weighed in on the frantic period of uncertainty.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly I think the initial news and rumors over there in Mexico, since we\u2019re in a tournament week, I almost just tried to act as if it was just rumors, right?\u201d Rahm said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause we\u2019re competing, I didn\u2019t want to waste any energy on an already demanding week thinking about it. So for me, the reality kind of came afterwards. I would say, like everybody, surprised, obviously unexpected. We did hear the news that there would be funding through for many years, so unexpected. <\/p>\n
\u201cThen as the future of the league goes, I think that\u2019s obviously a question for the business people. We want to be here. It\u2019s been a lot of fun. I want to keep competing. I want to keep sharing some time with them. \u201cBut only time will tell. Scott and his team have a lot of hard work to do, but obviously they\u2019re experienced in the area, and that\u2019s why they\u2019ve been chosen to take this role.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rahm was then asked bluntly at Trump National if he would be able to get out of his LIV contract early if he so desired. The two-time major winner is believed to have two more years left on his current deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll say I\u2019m also not a lawyer,\u201d he replied. \u201cI have no idea. I couldn\u2019t tell you. I have very few talents in my life, and reading a contract or business are not two of them. <\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, like you just said, as of right now, I have several years on my contract left, and I\u2019m pretty sure they did a pretty good job when they drafted that. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo I don\u2019t see many ways out, and as of right now, I\u2019m not really thinking about it since we still have a season to play and majors to compete for. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not something I want to think about just yet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The future of LIV Golf is increasingly uncertain.
