Spanish golfer Jon Rahm, a former Masters champion, has joined the controversial LIV Golf league and is set to compete for his second title at Augusta National in the coming week. Despite Rahm’s success in LIV Golf, his move has stirred up some controversy among fans and critics.
PGA Tour player Michael Kim has shared his insights on how Rahm and other LIV Golf players might be impacted by their new lifestyles. Kim highlighted concerns about the players’ shortened schedules affecting their performance in major tournaments like The Masters.
Rahm, who won The Masters two years ago, is considered one of the top players globally, although the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) may not fully reflect this due to LIV Golf’s unique challenges. Kim expressed his belief that players like Rahm have the ability to adapt and succeed in their new environment.
Golf analyst Johnson Wagner has identified Rahm and fellow Spaniard Sergio Garcia as the top contenders from LIV Golf who could secure victory at The Masters. Despite other strong competitors like Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, and Brooks Koepka, Wagner believes Rahm and Garcia stand out as the ones to watch.
With Rahm’s proven track record and Garcia’s recent success, these two Spanish golfers are poised to make a significant impact at the upcoming tournament. As the golfing world eagerly anticipates The Masters, all eyes will be on Rahm and Garcia as they strive to outshine their competitors and claim victory on the prestigious stage of Augusta.
