Tiger Woods has expressed his surprise at rumours Jon Rahm looks set to leave the PGA Tour and join LIV Golf. The speculation comes after reports that the 2023 Masters champion is set to sign a deal with LIV worth around \u00a3300million.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Multiple reports have suggested Rahm’s deal will last until 2029. If true, this would make Rahm the highest-profile signing for LIV Golf since its launch in June 2022.<\/p>\n

Rumours about Rahm have been fuelled by his withdrawal from the indoor golf league run by Woods and Rory McIlroy. Rahm cited time commitments as his reason for pulling out of TGL but has remained notably quiet about his future on social media.<\/p>\n

Despite previously laughing off suggestions that he might join LIV, Rahm has not commented on the recent rumours. Woods, 47, was asked about Rahm’s future after playing the second round of the Hero World Challenge on his PGA Tour return.<\/p>\n

He told reporters: “Hypothetically would it surprise me? Yes, but there’s so many different things that have happened in the last, as you said, 48 hours but also in the last few weeks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Things have changed and will continue to change. Our deadline’s coming up here soon, so there’s a lot of moving parts, a lot of different things are happening very quickly because we know, you know, I think today’s the first day in December, we don’t have a whole lot of time.”<\/p>\n

A reporter asked Woods: “You say it wouldn’t surprise you?”<\/p>\n

The golfing legend replied: “Well, nothing has really surprised me other than the fact that there’s so many different things that have happened so fast.<\/p>\n

“That’s one of the things that all of our – all of us as player-directors we’ve been working on, just that everything is now at a time crunch. It’s 24 hours a day just trying to figure it out.”<\/p>\n
