Oh man, you won’t believe what I’ve been digging into today – Jon Rahm’s massive deal with LIV Golf. This whole thing is wild. I’ve been glued to my screen, piecing it all together.
First off, I started by just getting a general overview of what happened. I mean, I knew Rahm was a big deal, but the numbers I was seeing were insane. I gathered news from everywhere, some saying it’s around $450 million, some even pushing it to $566 million! Crazy, right?
Then, I wanted to confirm those figures. I searched for more specific reports. Turns out, there are sources claiming he’s got a contract that runs until 2028. Not just that, but he apparently gets shares in the Saudi-backed tour. I mean, how cool is that? You play golf, and you own a part of the place too. I can confirm that he got around $500 million from different sources.
But it didn’t stop there. I was curious about how this deal affected his net worth. I dug up some info that his net worth is now estimated to be around $100 million as of 2024, thanks to this deal. And some places are estimating his net worth to be between $400 million and $600 million! Like, he’s set for life. It’s absolutely bonkers! Imagine being that good at something that you’re set for life.
I even looked into what other perks he gets. You won’t believe this – he reportedly has access to one of the Saudi Royal Family’s private jets! Plus, a team of 10 personal assistants. That’s just the cherry on top. I wish I could have my own private jet, not to mention 10 assistants who do everything for me. That would be the dream!
After that, I took a look at some of his recent winnings. I found out he earned $18 million for winning the 2024 LIV Golf Individual Champion title. That’s just from one event! He also won $22 million at LIV Golf Chicago. It’s wild how much these guys can make from just one game.
Lastly, I just browsed through some general news about his move to LIV Golf. It’s a huge deal, not just for him but for the whole golf world. Some reports even say he’s mentoring a rising star who was mentored by Rory McIlroy. It’s like a whole soap opera in the golf scene. How crazy is it that his team is signing a player who was mentored by another player. That’s why I love sports.
This whole thing is just wild. I spent hours going down this rabbit hole, and it’s been so interesting to see how one decision can change so much. Rahm’s living the dream, man. What a day!
