Last year’s Race to Dubai winner Jon Rahm has joined Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka in announcing that he will not join the newly proposed Premier Golf League.
Based on a rather controversial framework for its inception, the league seems to be struggling to get traction from the big-name players across the world.
‘I think what I’m going to do is focus on just the PGA Tour. At the end of the day I’m a competitor. I’m a PGA Tour member and I’m going to stay that way,’ Rahm said to Golfweek on Thursday.

‘I’m a young player. The PGA Tour has been doing things extremely well. Hopefully I have a long career ahead on the PGA Tour. The PGA Tour has done such a great job with what we have and I’m really thankful for what they’ve done.’
McIlroy said in February that he will not be competing in the league as he is not happy with its requirements and how it will be funded.
Koepka backed that up on Sunday when he told the Associated Press that he will also stick with the PGA Tour and that he is not happy with the 48-player rule of the league.
