One report and lots of rumors have Tony Finau following in Jon Rahm’s footsteps and joining LIV Golf. The 34-year-old Finau, however, did little to dispel that notion on Friday at the Grant Thornton Invitational.
“I have nothing to say right now,” Finau told reporters in Naples, Florida. “I haven’t heard anything.”
According to the Spanish website, Ten Golf, Rahm will be getting his own four-person team within the Saudi-backed circuit, and Finau and England’s Tyrrell Hatton were tabbed by the outlet as potential options to join Rahm.
While Finau’s agent, Chris Armstrong, told SI.com that any report was just rumor and that the speculation was likely due to Finau and Rahm being good friends and fellow members at Silverleaf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.
When asked again about the LIV rumors and whether he had a response to them, Finau said, “No, not yet. I haven’t let anything marinate other than just playing right now.”
Finau did, however, comment on Rahm.
“He made the best decision he felt was right for his family and himself,” Finau said. “I’m happy for him.”
Last year, Finau had this to say in relation to LIV Golf, telling the Salt Lake Tribune: “To me, at this point in my career, it’s so much about the satisfaction of winning golf tournaments and playing against the best player in the world [on] what I feel is the best tour in the world. And the satisfaction that comes from it, no amount of money can buy. It’s just the fulfillment that I’m after, after all these years of working hard and now being at my best that I’ve ever been, to have the opportunity to reap the rewards.”
