Phil Mickelson on Jon Rahm's PGA Tour idea? "It will never happen, unless..."
Phil Mickelson says Jon Rahm's idea for the PGA Tour 'will never happen' unless it were to be adopted by the rival LIV Golf League.
Jon Rahm doubled down on his support for under fire PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan before the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Then a question appeared to stump him somewhat. The question from the reporter, in Rahm's opinion, was too vague.
A reporter put it to the Spaniard: "If you had the chance to ask one question or make one change, what would that be?"
Rahm said he had 'no idea' what was to come next in the world of men's professional golf.
But still, there was one thing that he would love to see. More toilets on the course.

One person who has taken notice of Rahm's comments is LIV Golf's Phil Mickelson.
Mickelson took to social media to state that Rahm's idea would never happen.
Unless LIV started doing it and in that case the PGA Tour would adopt it immediately.

It’ll never happen.

LIV starts doing it. Then it’ll happen immediately— Phil Mickelson (@PhilMickelson) August 8, 2023
What did Rahm say about Monahan?
Monahan has now returned to work and is in the process of hashing out a deal with LIV Golf before the end of the year.
He was scheduled to meet players before the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
A key executive, Andy Pazder, quit on the eve of the playoffs.
Part of Pazder's role would have seen him work out a pathway back for LIV golfers should they wish to return and compensate those who stayed loyal to the North American circuit.
Some players have called for Monahan to quit but Rahm reckons he should be given time.
He said:
