RAHM WE'RE LIVID

Spaniard insists PGA bosses have betrayed stars over Saudi merger

- ANDY NEWPORT

RAGING Jon Rahm claims PGA stars have been left feeling "betrayed" by the shock peace deal with LIV's Saudi backers.

Rahm was as stunned as the rest of the golfing world to find out that PGA bosses had agreed a truce with the breakaway set-up, ending the game's bitter year-long civil war.

Last week's settlement paves the way for LIV defectors to return to the their former tour, having banked bundles in Saudi Public Investment Fund millions.

But it makes a mockery of methods used to persuade players such as Rahm and Rory Mcllroy (right) to stay loyal to the PGA, including a moral stance in opposition to Saudi human rights breaches.

Now, Masters champion Rahm has opened up on his frustrations ahead of this week's US Open in Los Angeles.
