To be fair to Rahm he's a two time major winner. But they have to overpay, guys who go are basically viewed with complete contempt and as having sold their souls. I sure as #### wouldn't sell my soul for market value, pay a premium on it or no soul lol.

IMO the Tour can maybe still stay alive so long as people aren't watching LIV.

I don't think the Tour will ever die, but it'll be relegated to pretty much irrelevance outside the majors, the Ryder Cup, and maybe Phoenix and a couple of other events. It's impossible to evaluate what the Saudis truly want because I can't think of another single entity on earth that is cool losing billions of dollars with, at this point, no viable path to making even a fraction of it back.
