I really like Rahm, but this move, given what he said about legacy shows him to be a complete hypocrite.

Tough one. Easier I guess to take the moral high ground for £10m, or £50m when you have Rahm’s earning potential. He would have to win his money as he isn’t Tiger levels of marketable I guess.

But for these rediculous sums, he’s probably hoping everyone thinks anyone would take it if being honest. Harder to blame the individual, the whole thing stinks and has the potential to wreck a number of sports.

That said, my lad missed his range lesson last weekend. He’s not bloody missing todays

Who’d be playing 3 off the tee off here ?
The 6th tee in Dubai later this week!

The most Dubai tee shot ever. Want to get back into the golf this year, I’ve been a very occasional player over the last year and so, meaning my handicap hasn’t budged at all, other than the odd half a shot here and there.

I’ve bought a load of winter gear to play before the weather starts to get better.

Come on Tommy Fleetwood!
McIIroy 3 putts from two feet, to give Tommy F a one shot lead with only four to play!

 

[PITA]

Really really poor from Rahm.

Money talks obviously but going from a multi millionaire to a multi multi multi millionaire. LIV is absolutely crap and everyone knows it

I do wonder how long it will be until the FA Cup final and the last day of the Premier League season will be played in Riyadh.

Great stuff, birdie birdie finish from Tommy F to win it by one

Rory with a big choke on the last hole. Great putt from tommy to win it.

Well done Tommy

Win win for me there. The two players I always want to win

Rory is a rollercoaster !

…thought he blew it when dropping that shot on the 16th.

Fair play to Rory McIlroy, 10 back starting out on Saturday morning - just won his fourth Dubai Desert Classic by a shot from Adrian Meronk!

He looks relaxed. Even after choking last week. And on all of the TaylorMade 2024 equipment vids. Maybe shedding the PGA/LIV politics will release him this year.

(massive social media blitz by TaylorMade for their new gear. Anyone know where Trottiegolf is from? Doing rather well for himself as a gobby but clearly very talented and trusted club fitter and now YouTuber, but looking at his bio he has had some great jobs)

Amateur winning the PGA tour event, guessing its been a while since that's happened

“Hi Jon, would you like 250mil to join LIV?”
“No, I respect tradition.”
“How about 400mil?”
“Yeah that’ll work. Where do I sign?”

Honestly I don’t really see LIV ever getting popular. The stars that leave will be replaced by the next generation and they’ll largely be forgotten until the majors... For that much cash though, they clearly just don’t care.

1991 when Phil did it was what I heard. It’s some accomplishment.
