Jon Rahm officially made the move to LIV Golf, a massive blow to the PGA Tour. Rahm is the reigning Masters Champion, a U.S. Open Champion and a former World No. 1-ranked golfer.
It hurts especially badly since Rahm was a staunch defender of the PGA Tour and pledged to never join LIV Golf. But, money talks, as they say. And, refreshingly, Jon Rahm wasn’t afraid to admit that.
“[Money] was one of the reasons, yeah,” Rahm said, according to Australian Golf Digest. “I mean, I’m not gonna sit here and lie to you, so it was definitely one of the reasons.”
“This decision was [made] for many reasons [like] what I thought was best for me, don’t get me wrong. It’s a great deal. Right? I had a really good offer in front of me, and it’s one of the reasons why I took it.”
Fast forward to JUNE 2, 2046. (As we know, everything changes and everything stays the same.)
As everyone knows, 16 years ago, the virtual game, BO, took the world by storm.
It combined an enhanced RNA patch delivering genetic instructions to the cerebral cortex, simulated orgasmic sensations, and cash prizes to contestants from 126 countries.
Of course, the professional BO Tour, bankrolled by Iranian oil trillionaires, now rivals football in popularity.
The Tour has drained major golfers from the fading PGA Tour—and today BO scored is biggest coup yet. It signed Ron Jahm, last year’s Masters champion, for a reported $2.5 billion.
Pundits and veteran observers are saying the PGA Tour is now dead, its coffin lid closed by the Iranians.
But a parallel development—suddenly breaking—could overshadow the Jahm signing.
Casper Flo, co-founder of BO, a biologist who owns vast apple orchards in Western New York, has gone missing, and the FBI and Interpol are attempting to track him down.
Court papers filed in Buffalo accuse Flo of blackmailing leading PGA Tour golfers, as a method of coercing them to join the BO Tour.
New York AG, Alesha Prutz, told the NY Times: “Mr. Flo used high-level Asian hookers to tempt and seduce at least four PGA pros, filmed their encounters, and then approached these men with the footage—and they caved in. That was not the case with Mr. Jahm. Several billion dollars were enough to turn his head. But the others had no choice. They are all family men. Well, one may be transgender, but that’s beside the point for the purposes of this discussion. To be clear, blackmail is not always a crime. In the recent Antifa Black case, the judge ruled extorting several billion dollars from State Treasurer Putter, who literally stole the money, was justified as a form of slavery reparations. However, in this situation, if Mr. Flo is found guilty, he could be sentenced to 20 years in state prison.”
Complicating matters, Flo is a major stockholder in Facebook and Pfizer. In his autobiography, Preacher’s Son, Flo recounts his role in the invention of the RNA patch.
