Jon Rahm 'jumps ship from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf'

Jon Rahm has finalized terms on a move to the LIV circuit that will net champion north of £400million ($570million) and ranks as the most crippling blow yet to the PGA Tour.

An announcement is believed to be imminent of the world No 3's defection, which has been widely expected for several weeks despite repeated claims from the Spaniard in the past year that he could not be bought.

As with so much in golf's civil war in the past two years, the vast wealth of LIV's Saudi Arabian backers ultimately proved more persuasive than the reservations held by the 29-year-old.
