Jon Rahm has pulled out of the inaugural season of Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods’ TGL golf league but in my opinion, this is the real reason! Let me know if you agree with me, I think it is pretty obvious!! So many people have been talking about the fact that Jon Rahm Pulls Out of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s Tech-Infused Golf League
Jon Rahm has officially pulled out of TGL, the Monday night simulator golf league started by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy that is set to start in January. The 2023 Masters champion was one of the first players to sign on to the league in November of 2022. TGL provided a statement to sports Illustrated about his departure from the new tech-infused circuit.
Find out exactly what Jon Rahm said in his tweet to the public, what I think will happen next and most importantly, The REAL reason Jon Rahm PULLED OUT of the TGL Golf League!

What are you thoughts?! What is the reason? I’m feeling just family right or could it be something else?
Family first for Rahmbo. The guy is a good role model. I doubt my wife would let me add more golf on top of a full tour schedule either if I’m not allowed to play more than once at the weekend!
He lives in Arizona…..not a FL guy….it is held in FL
I think it’s Family mate and nothing more than that also, everyone is to quick to jump on the Liv bandwagon when nobody knows what is actually happening there.
Big Rambo knows what he’s doing and what’s best for him 💪
TGL golf is a joke ! Who wants to watch that !! ??🎉
I work at Santander in the UK and he has just signed a 2 year partnership with Santander over in Spain as a brand ambassador. Shifting to LIV just doesn’t seem plausible given the fact that typically the bank partners with people who are elite in their field ie in the UK our past ambassadors have included Rory McIlroy, Jessica Enis-Hill, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button. I think you are right that he simply wants to focus on winning more Majors in the new season.
Is he going to liv ?
Isn’t golf. Is a video game.
Remember when LIV was called “exhibition golf” this is meaningless, simulated, exhibition golf
Why would Rahm water down his game and his marketability by working for Tiger and Rory?
Let’s guess, speculate, extrapolate, surmise, reckon, postulate but not just go with what Rahm said. Where would the “clicks” be if we can’t just hypothesize some rumour .. or even start our own? And it’s NOT A MERGER between PGA and LIV. Never has been.. never will be!
It’s is a withdrawal of legal courts filings so that the “Sponsors” of LIV (PIF) can have an opportunity to invest in a for profit PGA Tour. What happens to LIV is up to Monahan as per the agreement with PIF. It’s taking a long time because there are a lot “of cooks in the kitchen” so making the final deal and keeping a lot of “cooks” happy is going to take a lot of “compromise”. Something that in todays world is the new “C” word!
It's not real golf , it's an Arcade game which involves a minimal level of ability.
Would Seve play this ? never in a MILLION Years and if you don't understand why then you don't understand Golf. Hopefully it will inspire some people to take up the game for real but it's a Gimmick and Gimmicks don't tend to hang around very long.
All the best though my Friends , Good Luck
who gives a s&&?? a darn about rory that satupid follower of that stupid tiger , who is not tired to hear about this asaas&&* tiger with all he did in his life.
I think Jon wants to spend quality time @ home. Work/life balance, I wouldn’t read much more into it than that
Is there much of a difference between real live golf and hitting golf balls in a golf simulator?
OF COURSE THERE IS!!!
At least when the guys used to play skill testing events like the Shark Shootout they were on real courses, on real grass, out in the elements and they were hitting to real targets.
In TGL ,for example, the greens are going to be some animatronic, undulating surface that can be changed to provide different setups. When you look at a real green you are considering how fast or slow they are that day. You start studying the green as you walk up to it. They may put the pin in a different location on different days but that specific green doesn't change.
For many years we've watched videos of guys hitting into simulators to test clubs or to see how a club reacts. These are sometimes interesting and can be a useful tool to see how your swing works.
Do I want to watch 2 hours of guys hitting into a screen then hitting out of a sand trap and then putting on an artificial astroturf, undulating green?
I don't think so. I'd be better off spending an hour at Topgolf hitting driver and irons.
I wonder if they will let me take his place. I have my doubts
ANYTHING TO DO WITH TIGGER AND RORY GIVE IT A MISS COME ON LIV GOLF LETS HAVE A FEW MORE PGA STARS THERE ARE ONLY A FEW LEFT
IT WILL BE CRAP PGA ARE CLUTCHING AT STRAWS
LIV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You mentioned Tiger is a friend to Rahm. Jon has commented in the past that he and Tiger are not close. Certainly there’s no animosity, however at a tournament presser one time he was asked if they talk and he said no. Definitely nothing like JT to which the reporter was drawing comparisons. Hard to imagine he would go to LIV and risk losing the opportunity to build a truly transformative legacy.
wonder why no liv players are invited, shouldn't the best players in the world be included? maybe it's just for the jay moneyhan fag club?
