Jon Rahm is no longer the only cutting-edge golfer that he sees an agreement feasible between the two very conflicting positions of the PGA Tour and the LIV, the circuit that this year was born with the impulse and money of Saudi Arabia. Rory McIlroy, the golfer of the moment, who next Sunday in Dubai could culminate a double by leading the season on the two most traditional circuits in the world, the PGA Tour and the European Tour, spoke in this emirate about that path.
But, as a condition, the Northern Irishman is clear that before that nothing, any attempt at understanding must go through the resignation of Greg Norman at the head of the LIV, a figure that is beginning to be questioned even by the Arabs themselves.
“I think Greg has to go. I think he just needs to get offstage. to the left. She’s made her mark, but now is the right time to say, look, you’ve set this up, but no one’s going to talk unless there’s an adult in the room who can try to fix things. If this happens and the disputes that are open are not muddled, then things can happen.”
The world number 1 delved into the problem. “Golf is, he would say, in a less safe place than 12 months ago. Nobody really knows what is going to happen in the future. I guess everything Greg says but that comment [que todos los jugadores le deberían estar agradecido a Norman por haber hecho ganar más dinero incluido Tiger Woods]It depends on what you are looking for in golf. Am I grateful that it has provided more opportunities for the best players to earn more? Yes. But ultimately, will that make me happier at the end of my career? No. There are many things that people play golf and do their jobs for, and it’s not just about money. It’s about other things. It’s about trying to get the best out of yourself. It’s about the satisfaction of showing up and trying to realize your potential. You know, those are the things that definitely make me the happiest when I play golf no matter how much I’m going to win. It is sporting achievements that drive me. If you have to thank someone for being where we are, it’s Tiger.”
