Patience pays off for Mansell with breakthrough Singapore win

Augusta, Georgia: For now, there is another tradition from any other in The Masters: the first opportunity in nine months for all the best players in the world to compete with each other.

Jon Rahm and Bryson Dechambeau are among the biggest golf stars that almost no one sees the duration of this great division in golf between the PGA Tour and Liv Golf, financed by Saudi, which is not not that it is not no, I cannot not have dripped.

“I think we would all like to see that,” Rahm said about a possible unification. “But from what I can say and you can say that it is not happening soon.”

Rahm still goes up to the National Club of Augusta to the locker room leaves a little aside for teachers’ champions, where many friends can find, six of them colleagues in Liv Golf and many others who can see beyond the fight.

Deshambeau still dreams of winning a masters green jacket like Hey if he was a child. Thus, there is another identity in the first specialty of the year because it is a leg that many of the best were in the same field.

“Every time I have the opportunity to play against all, the best players in the world, it’s great,” said Decchambeau. “I think that is what we all hope that some point is resolved. That is beyond me and beyond my reach, unfortunately. I think that at some point if the players gather, I think we could leave.

Rahm returns to Augusta National in a very different mood.

He was the Masters defending champion last year, just out of his decision to go to his proclaimed “loyalty” to the PGA tour and sign for Liv Golf.

He had a great championship season to forget, he never seriously affirmed in any of them, losing the US open with an infection.

“There were sometimes in which there were many questions that I really did not have an answer … the state of the game and what is happening. We all want a solution and it is difficult to give one. When it comes to this week, last year for me it was difficult because it was the first older after joining Liv and was also defending.

It does not seem to happen much in terms of a solution.

The second White House meeting with President Donald Trump in February resulted in what is equivalent to a dead point.

Yasir Al-Rahalyyan, the governor of the Liv Golf Public Investment Fund, wants a way forward for Team Golf. The PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said that while the goal was to gather the best of the golf, “the only agreement that would regret is one that compromises the essence of what makes the golf game and the PGA tour so exceptional.”

PIF recently sent a proposal that offered $ 1.5 billion and al-ramayyan a seat in the PGA Tour companies, to which the tour founded the need to respond, it was ground to the sloin without politics what to do with two tours.

Rahm, Dechambeau, Brooks Koepka and other LIV players arrived from Miami after the first domestic event of LIV in Trump Doraral. According to Sports Business Journal, the PGA Tour averaged 1.75 million viewers in NBC for Brian Harman winning the Valero Texas Open. Liv Golf averaged 484,000 spectators in Fox for Marc Leishman Winning.

And now they are all in Augusta National, and the golf feels normal again in the midst of the cornejos and azaleas, much less the Pines of Georgia eliminated by the Hurricane Heene the past autumn.

It is a great scenario for the best Liv Golf players to perform because the opportunities are limited, just like players are thinking more about winning a specialty than trying anything beyond that. DCHAMBEAUAU comes a first green jacket as bad as Rahm wants a second, both as Scottie Scheffler is trying to win a third.

“I don’t think I need to do anything to make teachers more special than already,” Rahm said. “When coming here, there is nothing added to that. Students have always apart from each event in the world, and when you reach one of those, it does not feel different from what it was before or something.”

Towards the end of the Rahm press conference, he was asked about the world ranking, Liv’s golf events do not get points, and where he felt he was among the best in the world.

“Where am I in the world ranking right now? Am I already out of the top 100?” Hi, he asked closely. The twice older champion is approaching the two -year anniversary when it wasn’t. 1 in the world. The clash five positions this week. 80.

“A couple of weeks to the end and I will leave,” Rahm said with sarcasm mixed with reality. “I am not going to say exactly a number, but it would still be certainly to consider Myelf one of the 10 best players in the world. But it is difficult to know today.”

He would get a lot of discussion. Duration of its time in LIV, Spanish has never finished among the top 10 in any 54 -hole tournament that ended.

In the seven tournaments he played outside LIV last year, including the Olympic Games, Rahm has five top 10, a cut lost in the PGA championship and a draw for 45º in the masters.

“I think that last year the state of my game was unjustly tried on how I played here and in the PGA compared to the way I really played throughout the year,” Rahm said. “While I understand why, I don’t think it was the most fair state of my game.”
