LIV Golf received a big boost last week, when Jon Rahm defected from the PGA Tour to join the Saudi-backed league.
Rahm touted LIV’s team format as one of the reasons he decided to make the move.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"It is not an easy decision because I've had a really successful career, and I've been very happy. But there's a lot of things that LIV Golf has to offer that were very, very enticing, starting with team golf," he told Fox News’ Bret Baier. "Being part of a team is something that's been really big for me throughout my career.
"I was part of the Spanish national team from the age of 14 till I graduated college. I was part of the Arizona State golf team. And you know, as a pro, you don't have that chance very often. And if you are European or American, you barely have that chance, right?

It's something fresh, something new, something with a ton of potential and opportunity and something I'm really excited about."
Rahm’s deal to join LIV was reportedly worth $300 million over three years, according to ESPN.
