PGA Tour Controversies: Fred Couples, Jon Rahm, and LIV Defectors

Fred Couples, a 15-time PGA Tour winner, expressed his disdain for LIV Golf on his radio show, criticizing the idea that players would join the Saudi-backed circuit solely for the money. Couples mentioned Jon Rahm, who reportedly received an offer of over $400 million to join LIV Golf, and also mentioned Tony Finau in relation to the rumors. Couples argued that while LIV Golf may offer significant financial incentives, it is not changing the game of golf like past legends such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods did. LIV Golf has been successful in attracting major champions and is currently negotiating with the PGA Tour to reshape the structure of men's professional golf.
