Rory McIlroy’s Concern Tossed Aside as PGA Tour Winner Sides With Jon Rahm in a Shocking About-Turn

Wasn’t it a few months ago when Jon Rahm calmly sat down to discuss the current state of affairs in the golf world? According to the star golfer, we are living in the “golden era.”  He had good reasons to back up his claims: big tours in Europe, the PGA Tour, a new LIV event, plus TGL! But Rory McIlroy shook his head at those claims and said a firm “no.” McIlroy doesn’t share the same optimism. According to McIlroy, it has everything to do with the great golf divide. His response to Rahm? “Very rose-tinted glasses if you ask me.” Ouch!

In a recent development though, Jon Rahm has found an ally in Wyndham Clark. Yes, the PGA Tour pro sided with a LIV golfer on this point. Clark admits that a few years ago, he would have had a different response. But now? “I’m at the point where I want whatever is best for golf. I feel like golf is in a great place. It’s being consumed a ton. People are loving golf more. Athletes are playing golf. We have shows about golf. We have LIV, we have TGL, we have so many different avenues for people to watch and enjoy golf.” Wyndham Clark is not wrong.

This is a developing story…
