Though Rahm has said he is happy with his decision to join the Saudi-backed league, he’s also admitted that leaving the PGA Tour was harder than he thought.
Valhalla is supposed to be hit with rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, and though Thursday’s opening round should provide a respite, storms are expected to return on Saturday and Sunday.
