The PGA Tour sent out a memo to its players on Monday evening (Tuesday afternoon, AEDT) announcing that world No.3 Jon Rahm, who signed a deal last week to play for LIV Golf, has been suspended, an expected move that will have a positive domino effect for numerous players.
Although he averaged 290.2 yards off the tee – 6.4 yards longer than driving distance leader Davis Love III – in the 17 events and 51 rounds he played that year, Daly’s name is not included among the official stats leaders.
The DP World Tour suffered at least a temporary blow in its battle with LIV Golf on Monday when Sport Resolutions in the United Kingdom issued a stay of the suspensions the tour levied against three players after they competed in LIV’s inaugural event last month in London.
