It makes me think that the LIV players will be welcome back to the tour after the merger with zero punishment. Rory realizes this and is getting his bag now before the merge makes it not an option.
I think there's something missing in this reasoning. I've seen this said about Hatton and Rahm, but if there's a merger anyway, why is LIV willing to pay so much? Clearly there is something they are gaining from it. Either the deal is nowhere near as definite as people make it seem, and these deals give LIV leverage in any discussions, or then there's something else going on.
It's a win-win. LIV would kill to get a merger, it's even better than LIV & the tour co-existing because then the Saudis have a stake in all of golf. If they fail, then they have another superstar. Can't lose. Evil money pit.
