Jon Rahm is pleased with his move to LIV Golf, says Tyrrell Hatton. No regrets.
What about reports suggesting otherwise?
“I’m sorry to say this, but this is just media bull****,” Hatton said.
His comments appeared in a recently published article written by Daily Mail. Riath Al-Samarrai, whose full article can be found by clicking here. In December 2023, Rahm left the PGA Tour and joined LIV with a nine-figure contract, and the idea that he was unhappy with that decision gained traction last August after an article written by Golf review Jaime Diaz.
“One Tour veteran I spoke to is sure Rahm is in deep grief,” wrote Diaz, whose full story can be found by clicking here. “I am 100 percent convinced that if Jon could give the money back to the Saudis and get back on the road, he wouldn’t be able to write a check fast enough,” he says. “Now it’s only four times a year when he plays that anyone is even remotely interested. He believed his position in the game was secure regardless of where he played, and this was a serious miscalculation.”
About two weeks after Diaz’s story appeared, Rahm, in an article written by The New York Post Office Christian Arnold, whose entire story can be read by clicking here. In 2024, after two wins in 13 events, Rahm became the LIV individual champion, while in the majors he finished fifth in the Masters, missed advancing to the PGA Championship, withdrew from the US Open with a foot injury and tied for seventh in the Open Championship.
“There is no justification for what was said,” Rahm said New York Post Office. “I don’t know where that came from.”
He also expressed frustration with observers outside LIV Golf trying to portray LIV pros as “dissatisfied” with the Saudi-funded track.

“I don’t know why they feel the need to say that some of us are unhappy when we are not,” Rahm told the daily New York Post Office. “That’s one of the things that frustrates me a little bit, is that they can claim there’s a source and there’s no truth to it.”
In Daily mail history Hatton shared similar sentiments. Before last year’s LIV season opener, Hatton also left the PGA Tour sign with LIVjoining Rahma’s team.
“People have shown me some of the material that was written, but being around Jon, it never even crossed my mind,” Hatton said Daily mail.
“He really enjoyed it and certainly played some pretty good golf.”
