Professional golfer Eddie Pepperell has revealed that Jon Rahm’s asking price was ‘prohibitively large’ for LIV Golf, preventing him from joining the organization. LIV Golf, a new golf tour, approached 15 PGA Tour players this year to gauge their interest in joining. However, Rahm’s figure was so high that LIV Golf had to reject it. Phil Mickelson recently hinted that several PGA Tour pros would be joining LIV Golf next season, sparking speculation about who they might be. Pepperell also mentioned that the information about players joining LIV Golf could be part of the ongoing hearsay and ‘propaganda’ surrounding the tour. He shared an anecdote about a conversation with Michael Bloomberg, who had misconceptions about the financial situation of PGA Tour players. Pepperell criticized the misinformation being spread and questioned the credibility of Mickelson’s cryptic messages about LIV Golf. Despite Rahm’s high asking price, he has consistently stated that he is content with his current earnings and is focused on building a golfing legacy rather than pursuing more money. Pepperell’s insights shed light on the behind-the-scenes discussions and rumors surrounding LIV Golf, highlighting the challenges of separating fact from fiction.
