Jon Rahm: PGA players don't have "all the answers we'd like"

Jon Rahm admitted there is a sense of betrayal among the PGA Tour membership in the wake of the merger with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. Rahm said he was at home making breakfast for his kids and wife Kelley on 6 June when text messages started flowing about a planned merger. "I thought my phone was going to catch on fire at one point," Rahm recalled ahead of this week's U.S. Open. "There were so many questions that I just couldn't answer. "At one point, I told Kelley I'm just going to throw my phone in the drawer and not look at it for the next four hours because I can't deal with this anymore." Rahm still doesn't have any more answers a week later.
