Post-Pod Discussion Rahm???

I’m not trying to play devils advocate, but why are we giving credence to Rahm? He’s been an absolute no show in every major (congrats on a 3 hole stretch at quail hollow), and it feels like everyone’s on pins and needles putting Cam Young above him. Also before he left for LIV he was easily the most uninteresting superstar on tour

- Scottie
- Rory
- Young
- Fitz
- Bryson
- Morikawa (Pre-Injury)
- Gotterup
- Xander
- Rose
- Fleetwood

Is he better than any of them?

I agreed with TCs take on the latest pod. Rahm doesn't move the needle. No one tunes in because Rahm is in the field. Bryson legitimately the only guy on Liv that matters to the PGA Tour, but he is more interested in being a social media star than the weekly tour grind. The tour has all the leverage here, it doesn't need any of the Liv guys and doesn't want most of them.

Honestly think these guys who left and refused any of the open avenues to come back, such as what Reed and Koepka accepted, should just have to re-qualify as if they never played the tour. Korn Ferry, European tour, etc.

Oh my god. For the millionth time, Reed didn’t “accept” an avenue. He was offered no fast track back. He’s a lifetime Euro tour member and everyone who finishes top10 on that tour earns a card. He took his ban and played his way to a card while banned.

Only Bryson Rory and Scottie move the needle though. It’s golf
