I feel disappointment and a total letdown

that’s it Jon Rahm going to play Arab Super League (they say, there is no official figure and there will not be) for 500 million dollars (300 fixed + 200 in variables) it is respectable and understandable when they come to you, insist and put such a dizzying figure on table. Jon says it’s what’s best for him and his family. Perfect. The newspaper archive does not deceive, and a year and a half ago I would not have thought or spoken the same way. And for your golf? This will be the best? Your results will definitely suffer. The Australian Cameron Smithextraordinary champion of British Open in 2022 with a final exhibition in Saint Andrews, he will be number 1 in the world and achieve everything that is put in front of him. One week after teaching at Old Course Scottish, signed for LIV. It’s July 2022. Since then, completely irrelevant, out of the ranks, but yes, with his saddlebags full and following the rules of his ‘mentor’ – that of all ‘Aussies’ – and compatriots Greg Normanwhose world tour was aborted in the 90s and now the ‘white shark’ exact revenge in the chapters.

I repeat that the decision that Jon made seems very respectful to me, but he is trying to sell us LIV as the future of golf, there, me, who has been on the greens for almost 40 years, well. , I’m not buying: tournaments with no cut, leaving the shot, hard to follow, where you play in shorts and there’s a disc jockey on the 18th hole. No, sorry. neither Seve Ballesterosneither Txema Olazabal, they will praise the decision of the Spanish heir that should mark an era. If it has been difficult to sell the successes of Spanish golf, which are mostly its successes, to the media, now the task will be more complicated. If it’s hard to compete with clicks on Nadal, Alcaraz, Alonso and Márquez, now there are more. Jon chose an account with millions of dollars to be boring instead of becoming the best golfer in history. I feel disappointment and severe depression.
