Tony Finau took to social media to dispel all rumors of leaving the PGA Tour on Monday. The six-time winner on the PGA Tour shared on his Instagram that he will be returning for his 10th season in 2024.
Over the last few weeks, there has been a lot of speculation that Finau was going to defer to LIV Golf after his friend Jon Rahm made a blockbuster move. With rumors circling that LIV Golf is beginning to sway PGA Tour players to play on Rahm’s team, Finau made sure his fans knew, he wasn’t one of them.
On Instagram, Finau wrote, “I’m excited for 2024 and looking forward to playing my 10th season on the PGA Tour!”

Tony Finau Stays on the PGA Tour
Finau’s announcement is a small victory for the PGA Tour. Currently, Finau is 21st on the Official World Golf Rankings and is fresh off his wins at the Houston Open and Mexico Open.
The 34-year-old is a highly-regarded player on the Tour. He finished the season with 13 top-25 finishes in 24 starts. Throughout his career, he’s earned more than $37.4 million and will look to add to that sum this year.
He also posted on his Instagram, “Stoked to be defending in both Mexico and Houston! Thank you to my partners for your continued support. Thank you to the fans for all the love for our whole Finau fam.”
Tony Finau Happy For Jon Rahm’s Move to LIV Golf
Many fans believe Finau would leave the Tour as well especially since his friendship with Rahm is highly documented. The two both live in Scottsdale, Arizona and are members of the Silverleaf Club, where they play practice rounds together.
Despite Rahm leaving the PGA Tour, Finau is surprisingly supportive of his friend.
“Yeah, I think he made the best decision that he felt was right for his family and himself, I’m happy for him,” Finau said at the Grant Thornton Invitational.
