Now, again to Rahm.
“Well, I can tell you I had zero attention on it,” the 27-year-old Spaniard stated. “I only found out that it was going on because I walked by player dining and I saw about 10 really nervous people pacing all around the room and I thought, ‘Well, there’s something going on.’ I asked and heard what was going on. But I never really — I was in the room when the judge made her decision known, but only because I was walking by and they told me it was time. So I was like, yeah, I’ll stay.”
Rahm, a former World No. 1, was requested if it will have been awkward if the ruling had gone within the different course for the gamers who now characterize the Saudi-funded LIV circuit.
“I think it could have made things a little bit awkward, yeah,” he stated. “They chose to leave the PGA Tour, they chose to go join another Tour knowing the consequences; and then try to come back and get, you know, courts and justice in the way wouldn’t have, I would say, sit extremely well with me.
“However on the identical time, they’re adults, proper. They’re free to do as they please, to an extent, and that is what they selected to do. If they’re allowed by a decide, I am no one to say in any other case.
“Would have been awkward, possibly, but I guess we’ll never know.”
Gooch, Swafford and Jones would have certified for the FedEx Cup playoffs based mostly on their place within the factors standings had they not been suspended for taking part in LIV occasions with out the PGA Tour’s consent.
Matt Fitzpatrick wasn’t too involved in regards to the gamers that are not competing within the playoffs.
“Yeah, I think only three of them that aren’t here, it’s not a massive loss in my opinion,” he stated.
