Jon Rahm reveals Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s contrasting reactions to $500million LIV Golf move

JON RAHM has revealed he received two very different reactions from Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods after moving to LIV Golf.

The Spaniard shocked the golfing world after leaving the PGA Tour last December in a $500million (£390m) move for the Saudi-backed tournament.

Rahm, who heavily criticised the LIV Golf tour, has not spoken to some of his PGA Tour pals since his exit.

Since his multi-million pound move, Rahm said Woods was not as accepting of the decision as his friend and business partner McIlory.

The 29-year-old told ESPN: “Rory has been supportive publicly of my decision and he was privately as well.”

Whereas when the star was asked if he had heard from Woods he said on Gary Neville’s The Overlap podcast: “Tiger? No, not really.

“I mean, Tiger, I texted him and the people that try to reach out, you know, the process, when I signed and I just let him know, ‘Hey, you know, this is a personal decision.'”

Since Rahm’s exit Woods has not given many public appearances.

He was asked twice during the PNC Championship about Rahm and didn’t offer much insight into their relationship.

Woods said: “Well, there’s been a lot of talk over the years of certain players going.

“And it was speculation until it happened because there’s been rumours of names going and not going, and whether they materialised or not.

“So we assumed it was just speculation till it happened.”
