Jon Rahm's remarks about still being on the PGA Tour and having support for the organization while being with LIV Golf incensed a golf analyst on Tuesday.
Jon Rahm, like most LIV Golf defectors who chose to play for the renegade series, had his PGA Tour card suspended when he left the organization. Rahm on Tuesday claimed he was still a PGA Tour member – suspended or not – and rebuked the notion he was playing for 'the other side.' It was a comment that left Golf Channel analysts irate, according to Awful Announcing.
Arron Oberholser was highly critical of Rahm’s comments. 'He doesn’t get it,' he said. 'To this day, he doesn’t get it. This is a guy who wanted a position or wanted to be heard, from what I understand. Either a board position, policy board, he wanted to be heard on this whole thing before he went to LIV. And I feel like he wasn’t as heard as much as he probably should’ve been, and now, I’m glad he wasn’t in that position because he doesn’t get it.
He has yet to pick up a LIV Golf win but is second in the points standings behind Joaquin Niemann. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
