Does Jon Rahm regret playing LIV? This is the position after the first contest

Jon Rahm plays from this Thursday on Las Vegas the second tournament of the season LIV Golf. It will end on Saturday because on Sunday all the nation’s attention is focused on the SuperBowl which is also being played in the city of sin and gambling. The Basque did not hide in the press conference before the media in Las Vegas Country Club how you feel about contests PGA Tour who stopped playing because of the decision he made to sign for Arab Super League. Jon admits that he misses not being around Torrey Pines (Farmer) and Palm Springs (Amex), the same fetish stage and where Barrika triumphed, as well as losing at the Phoenix Open this week, in TPC Scottsdale, five minutes from home in Arizona.

“It’s tougher watching American Express and Farmers on television while at home. It’s tough not competing and knowing those tournaments are happening. Palm Springs and Torrey are tough weeks. I’ve explained many times how important Torrey is Pines for me (he won the Farmers and US Open there and also won in Palm Springs). Also, going through Phoenix a lot because it’s close to my house and knowing I won’t be playing there, it’s definitely emotional. It’s one of the things I’m going to miss,” Rahm said earlier this morning during his media appearance before LIV in Las Vegas.

Jon made it clear that, at the moment, he feels no remorse or regret. “No. I usually don’t regret any decision. I made it with all the information I could and with the full support of the people around me and with the confidence that it was the right thing for me, so no, no regrets.”» , he highlighted.

Of course, he misses the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour and continues to insist on his desire to play tournaments on both circuits again. “I’m hopeful. That’s all I can say for myself. On the DP World Tour we’ve already seen examples of people playing their events. It’s definitely a possibility. I’d like to, if you’ll let me and not opposed to an LIV tournament, play the Spanish Open. One tournament Tyrrell and I will both miss is Wentworth (unless the LIV Golf final, which has yet to be announced, is played on that date, now They Can I’m going to play it myself. If I qualify, I want to play in Dubai, the DP World Tour Championship. There are definitely events I want to play. And on the PGA Tour, we’ll see. If there’s a way to come back and play, even if I’m invited, I will. Like I said, there are occasions that are special to me and I really want to play,” added the Biscayan.

Asked about the situation of LIV with respect to the world ranking and the fact that it does not receive points, the player from Barrika briefly thought about the Grand Slams: “It’s a bit sad, but hopefully we will see a change . in the future, will open the way for LIV Golf players to qualify for the ‘Majors’ or, perhaps, a change in the World Ranking, whatever, because there are certainly many players here who are more than capable of competing and winning . ‘Great’ and they won’t have a chance in the near future. I hope that changes. The ideal to be the best in the world is to beat the best in the world, period,” Jon said.
