The latest rumor on social media is that a current World Top 10 player is off to LIV Golf as a result of being “aggrieved at the new PGA Tour proposals”.

Another week, another LIV Golf rumor emerges and it once again involves one of the world’s best golfers potentially leaving the PGA Tour.

LIV Golf has already pinched the likes of major champions Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia in its inaugural season.

And the latest big rumor following the completion of the BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour tonight is that yet another shock name could very well be joining them soon on the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series.

It would appear the player in question has not taken well to the huge new changes made by the PGA Tour ahead of the new season, which starts this week.

My info has always been spot on for players going to LIV!

Been informed top 10 player is going. He is aggrieved at the new PGA proposal and the “Rory tour”

I will let you guess for a few days 😘

“My info has always been spot on for players going to LIV!” reads a tweet from @GolfLoverUK.

“Been informed top 10 player is going. He is aggrieved at the new PGA [Tour] proposal and the “Rory Tour”.

“I will let you guess for a few days.”

This tweet has since been approved by our friends at Handicap 54, who have been bang on with just about every player transfer on LIV Golf so far.

I have similar information. Attention! https://t.co/gCE4Ynyz60

“I have similar information. Attention!” reads a tweet from @Handicap54.

While we have no further information on who this “Top 10 player” could be exactly, we can at least narrow the process down for you.

Let’s take a look at the current Top 10 on the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR):

1. Scottie Scheffler
2. Rory McIlroy
3. Cameron Smith
4. Patrick Cantlay
5. Xander Schauffele
6. Jon Rahm
7. Justin Thomas
8. Will Zalatoris
9. Collin Morikawa
10. Viktor Hovland

So who could the ‘Top 10’ player be then?!

Smith has already gone to LIV Golf and McIlroy, Scheffler and Thomas are three certs to remain on the PGA Tour, so we can rule them out.

We are fairly confident Zalatoris will remain loyal to the PGA Tour, as too Morikawa who rejected rumors back in June.

So that’s six out the race, unless Morikawa has had second thoughts while eating his cereal.

That leaves us with four potential targets who could be jumping ship to LIV Golf: Schauffele, Cantlay, Hovland and Rahm.

Despite being linked with a move to LIV Golf at the start of the summer, Cantlay told the media recently how he is looking forward to competing alongside Schauffele at the Presidents Cup later this month.

Schauffele also recently confirmed he turned down an “obnoxious” offer from LIV Golf.

We are fairly confident best buds Cantlay and Schauffele will remain on the PGA Tour, at least for now.

So that really leaves us down to two players in Norway’s Hovland and Spain’s Rahm.

Hovland’s name has been heavily linked with a move to LIV Golf all summer, so we will have to see what plays out there. He would have to sit at the front of those in the top 10 for a move to LIV Golf you would think.

Then there is Rahm, who finished tied second with McIlroy behind Shane Lowry at the BMW PGA on Sunday.

It would of course be a huge shock if Rahm, a former World No.1 and US Open champion, did switch allegiance to LIV Golf anytime soon, especially having hit out at LIV Golf players competing at Wentworth this week.

But the comments in the tweet from @GolfLoverUK at the top of this article would possibly point the finger most at the Spaniard of anyone in the current top 10.

That’s because of these particular comments from a couple of weeks ago at the Tour Championship.

You can watch Rahm’s interview below:

Rahm’s reaction to the minimum of 20 PGA Tour events is telling.

Reporter: “Do you know something we don’t”.

Rahm: “pfft, me, no, you’re asking the wrong guy, if you wanna know about that stuff you know who are the 2 players you have to ask”. pic.twitter.com/72luV1C8PB

Rahm did say recently say that “$400 million won’t change my life” by playing on the LIV Golf Tour.

Either way, any of the current top 10 players moving to LIV Golf would be yet another huge coup for Greg Norman so let’s wait and see.

Hideki Matsuyama remains one of Norman’s biggest targets ahead of the new LIV Golf League in 2023, but he is currently ranked 16th in the OWGR.

It is understood that Matsuyama has been offered in the region of $400 million to jump ship.

We will no doubt learn more about the latest rumour over the coming days ahead of LIV Golf Chicago, which starts on Friday September 16.
