McGinley Challenges Rahm After US PGA Championship Struggles

McGinley Challenges Rahm

Paul McGinley doubled down in his criticism of LIV Golf after Jon Rahm’s US PGA Championship meltdown on Sunday. Rahm stunned the golf community at the end of 2023 by leaving the PGA Tour to jump ship to the rebel LIV circuit. Having previously promised to stay with the PGA Tour, his decision angered some fans, while others acknowledged that the absurd £224million ($300m) offer from the Saudi-backed tour was too great to reject. Rahm's Struggle at US PGA Championship Rahm's collapse late on may just have validated comments made earlier in the week by Irish golfer McGinley. McGinley had suggested that the lower standard of play at LIV events and a general relaxation in player efforts have dulled Rahm's competitive edge in the majors.
