Jon Rahm is one of the two most-recognizable names on LIV Golf -- only behind Bryson DeChambeau in terms of public awareness -- and has been the top dog inside the ropes of the Saudi-owned golf league for two-and-a-half seasons now.
However, Rahm isn't representing LIV Golf in pitches to potential investors in either the overall league, or its 13 teams, that could save the circuit beyond this year.
Ahead of LIV Golf Andalucia, the home-nation player was asked about any involvement in the effort to bring in upwards of $300 million in capital to the league or to bring interested investors in the teams to the table.
"It would be more of a stay-in-your-lane type situation as it goes to me," Rahm said Tuesday in Spain. "I know nothing about business. I'm never going to claim to know anything about business, and if I was in a business pitch, I would not know the first thing to say. My job is to play golf, and I'll say it's is hard enough as it is, especially this week."
Answering a similar question in Spanish, Rahm said he has left that process to LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil.
"My job is to play golf, and you have to trust the people in charge. So, that's a question for Scott (O'Neil)," Rahm said. "If we reach a point where maybe drastic decisions have to be made, we'll see, but for now, I'll tell you I hadn't thought about it."
However, Rahm, twice a winner already this season and the highest-ranked LIV Golf player in the Official World Golf Ranking, only had positive things to say about what DeChambeau, or any other LIV Golf players, might be doing to bring outside investment to the negotiating table.
"If any player who knows what they're doing is willing to do certain things like that, I think it can only help," he said.
For the two-time major winner Rahm, though, he believes his schedule as a parent of three -- and with his wife Kelley pregnant with a fourth child -- precludes him from being able to participate in these meetings to save the league.
"To have insight from a player on a meeting like that can help, and I'm open for any suggestions possible," he started, "but I would also say I don't have the free time that Bryson has to be flying around the country to attend meetings with three little ones and one on the way. Even if I wanted to, I don't know if I could do it."
