Ahead of the U.S. Open in Los Angeles, PGA Tour star Jon Rahm spoke for the first time since the historic merger with the PIF. He believes players are feeling betrayed.

"We’re certainly in a spot in time where there’s a big question mark, where we don’t have the answers we would like. It’s hard to say," said Rahm, the No. 2-ranked player in the world entering this week.

Jon Rahm of Spain waves after his putt on the sixth hole during the second round of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club April 7, 2023, in Augusta, Ga. The consensus hope among PGA Tour players — and everyone in professional golf — is that an explanation is forthcoming.
