Justin Rose has suggested the idea of joining LIV Golf doesn’t “excite” him.
The 45-year-old sportsman hasn’t been tempted to break away from the PGA and DP World Tours because he is still focused on his long-term career goals.
He told Golf Monthly magazine: “My career goals have always only been attainable by staying on the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour because access to [the Majors] is not possible the other way.
“But obviously I want to play in among the best players in the world.
“That is what keeps me motivated, what keeps me hungry, what keeps me pushing.
“It would have been easy to potentially do other things, but none of that excited me, I don’t think – and none of it gave me access to what I wanted to achieve.
“I always felt like my childhood self wouldn’t feel very good about making that decision and kind of giving up on those dreams.
“I’ve been close, you know, sniffing and knocking on the door or a couple of Majors since those decisions were made, and those moments did validate the decision.”
Justin found a new commitment and dedication to golf in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said: “I’ve always tried really hard but I think I really recommitted myself maybe post-Covid-ish, like 2021.
“Coming off the back of getting to world number one, I started to play pretty poor golf in 2021, maybe in 2022.
“I felt like at that point, I needed to go make a shift. ‘I don’t want to go out like this, I don’t want to just drift into nowhere having been number one in the world.’
“I felt like there was a bit of an, ‘I’m not going to let that happen; mentality, so a bit of a recommitment.
“A reassembling of a team as well.”
