Rahm has officially signed with LIV Golf, but failed to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
Jon Rahm made it official Thursday night. Rahm signed with LIV Golf, leaving the PGA Tour and his integrity behind.
Just over a year ago, Rahm pledged his loyalty to the PGA Tour publicly. Earlier this year, he trashed LIV for its format and made it clear that even $400 million wouldn’t change his mind.
Well, apparently around $500 million did.
Rumors had swirled this would come to fruition. Unlike in the past, Rahm’s camp never shot them down.
USC head basketball coach Andy Enfield said Thursday that Bronny James is expected to make his college debut on Sunday when the Trojans take on Long Beach State, according to Ryan Kartje of the LA Times.
James, the eldest son of NBA superstar LeBron James, has yet to appear in a game for USC this season after suffering cardiac arrest during a team practice in July. After undergoing testing it was determined that Bronny has a congenital heart defect, but the family maintained that he’d be back on the court before long.
The NFL playoff picture rides on a battle between QBs who extend plays. But while Dak Prescott can throw in those situations, the 49ers exposed one of Jalen Hurts’ weaknesses.
As 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy fielded questions from reporters Thursday at the team’s facility in Santa Clara, Calif., one query stood out amongst the rest.
Purdy gave insightful answers about San Francisco’s preparation for its matchup against the Seahawks, and praised a few teammates and the 49ers’ fan base. But he also addressed a recent hot take by FOX Sports pundit Colin Cowherd.
“Brock, do you think you’re representing the organization well right now, standing up there on the podium wearing a backwards hat?” the reporter jokingly asked.
Jon Rahm officially made the move to LIV Golf, a massive blow to the PGA Tour. Rahm is the reigning Masters Champion, a U.S. Open Champion and a former World No. 1-ranked golfer.
It hurts especially badly since Rahm was a staunch defender of the PGA Tour and pledged to never join LIV Golf.
But, money talks, as they say. And, refreshingly, Jon Rahm wasn’t afraid to admit that.
“[Money] was one of the reasons, yeah,” Rahm said, according to Australian Golf Digest. “I mean, I’m not gonna sit here and lie to you, so it was definitely one of the reasons.
James is a terrific 3-point shooter and once he finds his legs and adjusts to the pace of the game after being off the court for so long, this is an area offensively he can impact USC immediately.
The Yankees got a whole lot better on Wednesday after finalizing the blockbuster acquisition of Juan Soto in an offseason trade with the Padres.
On Thursday, general manager Brian Cashman told reporters that the Soto trade is a big step in New York’s desire to be “the mecca of baseball.”
“The culture we have with the Yankees that we project constantly is our intent to win,” said Cashman, via ESPN. “We’re here. We’re in it to win it. So that’s messaging that’s constantly being reinforced.
“So I think that’s a recruiting beacon for anybody.
