When asked about LIV during the 2022 US Open, Jon Rahm explained how golf, for him, was more about the history, the legends, the centuries long narrative arc rather than filthy, grubby money.

 

Well, Jon Rahm is no longer in 2022 and he’s no longer with the PGA. But why is the LIV siren call still enchanting PGA ride-or-die players this late in the day? Aren’t these two at war acronyms set to become one harmonious acronym? We have Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times and Lawerence Donegan of McKellar Magazine on the line to talk us through it.

 

Speaking of U-Turns, Eddie “I’m not going to Japan, mate” Jones has… gone to Japan, while Andy Farrell commits to leading Ireland to another Rugby World Cup.
