Jon Rahm’s move to LIV

Sir, – The claim might be made, as if we didn’t already know, that Saudi money can buy at will.

Jon Rahm had already achieved $50 million in prize winnings and $9 million recently for his influence on social media before eventually deciding to join the Saudi LIV golf tour.

Was it the hundreds of millions joining payment that made him finally decide to enlist with the rebel tour (Rahm’s potential LIV deal reported to be worth over €550m, Sport, December 8th)?

A Nobel Prize winning economist’s findings (in 2002) on how humans make decisions found that happiness continues to increase the richer we are, contradicting a previously accepted idea that a happiness plateau existed.
