Jordan Spieth is relieved that he isn’t involved in deciding what the future holds for LIV Golf rebels Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and co.
Saudi Arabia’s PIF announced officially yesterday that it’s pulling the financial backing after ploughing more than $5bn into the breakaway tour since 2022 which puts its future into major doubt.
It is expected that Rahm and DeChambeau will seek a return to the PGA Tour and while pathways were created for Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed to come back to the fold, Spieth isn’t convinced that an olive branch should be held out for everyone.
“I’m not sure,” Spieth said. “I’m not sure if it should be the same for everyone. I know olive branches were given out, you know, a couple of months ago. “Brooks (Koepka) took ’em up on it. So I’m not sure what would now change.
“Obviously with, if it — and I don’t even know, that doesn’t necessarily mean that LIV’s not going to still move on, too.
“I think there’s just too many unknowns for me to have a good gauge on what would happen there.
“But I think, if there’s a system for Brooks and a system for Patrick Reed, does that stay the same for guys in the same category as those two coming back or does it change now?
“Does it change for guys who sued and dropped their membership? “There’s just a lot of different things that happened over the last four years for that.
“I’m kind of glad I’m not in that room, and I trust the guys that are in that room to make the right decision.”
World number one Scottie Scheffler refused to answer questions on what the future may hold for men’s professional golf.
