Jon Rahm keeping his focus on golf more than LIV's future

AP News — Apr 17, 12:17 PM

Jon Rahm says he isn't worried about the future of LIV Golf despite uncertainty about its funding.

After his strong start at LIV Golf Mexico, Rahm says he doesn’t waste time on rumors.

Speculation centers around Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund cutting financial backing of the rival golf league.

Scott O'Neil is the CEO of LIV. He has told the staff funding would continue without interruption.

He remains optimistic about the league's future, citing increases in ticket sales and sponsorships.

Rahm is the points leader on LIV and shot 65 to be three shots behind Victor Perez of France.
