In a shocking twist to the already dramatic saga of professional golf's migration to the LIV Golf Invitational League, Jon Rahm has boldly declared that his $300 million deal has nothing to do with the staggering amount of money involved. Instead, Rahm insists he's joining LIV for the unparalleled opportunity to play on sub-par golf courses.
In an exclusive interview that left even the most seasoned golf reporters scratching their heads, Rahm proclaimed, "Look, it's not about the money. I could take or leave $300 million. But have you seen the golf courses they're planning for LIV? They're so sub-par that they make your local municipal course look like Augusta National."
Rahm's unexpected revelation left the golf community in disbelief, with fans and fellow players alike wondering if they had missed some memo about the latest trend in sub-optimal golfing experiences.
"Sure, the money is nice, don't get me wrong," Rahm continued, waving off the notion that $300 million might have influenced his decision. "But what really got me excited is the chance to conquer courses that even my grandmother could break par on. I've always believed that true skill is showcased when the course is so bad that even the squirrels refuse to play there."
Critics, however, are skeptical of Rahm's newfound enthusiasm for sub-par courses, suggesting that perhaps the allure of the colossal paycheck played a more significant role in his decision.
One rival golfer, speaking on condition of anonymity, scoffed, "Yeah, right. Who wouldn't trade a chunk of their soul for $300 million? Sub-par courses, my 9-iron. Last time I checked, golfers compete for green jackets, not to navigate courses resembling mini-golf setups."
Despite the skepticism, Rahm remains resolute in his commitment to LIV for the sub-par challenge. "I've always dreamed of playing on courses where the fairways are more like suggestion-ways, and the greens are a gentle reminder of what grass used to look like. It's not about the money; it's about embracing the chaos of sub-par golf."
As Rahm embarks on this unconventional golfing journey, the golf world is left to wonder whether his love for sub-par courses will be enough to overshadow the allure of the hefty paycheck. One thing is for certain – if LIV delivers on its promise of lackluster playing conditions, Rahm may find himself in the sub-par paradise he never knew he needed.
