"He has one foot out the door" - Fans react to Tony Finau's comment on LIV Golf rumors

Fans have reacted to Tony Finau's comment on rumors of him joining the Saudi-backed LIV Golf. As per reports swirling on the internet, the American golfer might part ways with the PGA Tour to compete on LIV next year.

However, Finau cleared the air in his recent interview with SI at the Grant Thornton Invitational and stated that he was more focused on his game. He also spoke about Jon Rahm's move to LIV Golf and said that he was happy for the Spanish golfer.

NUCLR Golf shared the news on its X account with a caption that read:

"Tony Finau on LIV rumors: “No, not yet. I haven’t let anything marinate other than just playing right now. And on Rahm joining, Finau said: “Yeah, I think he made the best decision that he felt was right for his family and himself. I’m happy for him.” (via @GabbyHerzig/ SI)"

However, fans were not convinced by Finau's remarks, and many believe he could join LIV in the future.

"He has one foot out the door," one user commented.

"Considering finau has a rags to riches story, I could see the riches increasing," wrote another fan.

"He’s smart if he does," commented another fan.
