Tony Finau and wife Alayna aren’t ignoring the LIV Golf buzz.
In the wake of the six-time PGA Tour winner withdrawing from this week’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, rumors are swirling Finau could be defecting to the Saudi-backed league that his good friend, Jon Rahm, joined last year on a deal worth a reported $350 million.
Taking to TikTok on Monday, Alayna uploaded a video of the couple enjoying some downtime by the pool while acknowledging internet “drama.”
In the video, Alayna can be seen mouthing, “My life is complicated enough, the last thing I need is more drama,” before a report about Finau and LIV appears at the end, cueing the voiceover, “Hello, drama.”
“Me n my day in the life vids in our own lil corner over hurr,” she captioned the clip, adding the hashtags, “Finau Fresh,” “golf,” “golf TikTok,” “PGA Tour” and “LIV Golf.”
Fans of the couple, who have been married since 2012 and share five children, threw their support around Finau.
“I’m a Tony fan no matter where he plays, dude is just so chill all the time,” one TikTok user commented.
“Absolutely nothing wrong with a man supporting his family the best way he can. I’ll watch Tony no matter where he plays,” another posted.
Speculation has been building that Finau could leap to the controversial circuit, which boasts stars such as Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson.
The Mirror reported Sunday how Rahm’s Legion XIII squad “will introduce a new member in 2025 following the relegation of Kieran Vincent,” noting there are “several stars” on his wish list, and suggested Finau can fill the void.
“Rumors are swirling that Rahm’s top pick to fill the vacancy is his close friend Tony Finau, who reportedly previously turned down an offer to join [LIV],” according to The Mirror.
Tyrrell Hatton and Caleb Surratt are the other members of Rahm’s team.
The No. 26 ranked player in the world, Finau tied for third at this year’s U.S. Open and competed in September at the Presidents Cup, which the U.S. won.
The PIF — the financial arm of the Saudi regime — has been in talks with the PGA Tour in the last year and a half but a timeline remains murky on an agreement.
