Jon Rahm

Once one of LIV Golf’s biggest critics, Rahm rocked the golfing world in December of 2023 when he opted to defect from the PGA Tour to the breakoff league. Other than the initial list of signees for the inaugural 2022 season, Rahm has arguably been the largest name to sign with LIV Golf, which was reflected in his captaincy of the newly minted Legion XIII team composed of Tyrrell Hatton, Caleb Surratt and Kieran Vincent. Rahm was the only golfer in the LIV Golf league to finish in the top-10 in every single tournament he finished (he was forced to withdraw from Houston due to an infection in his left foot), and his victories at LIV Golf UK and Chicago propelled him past Torque GC captain Joaquin Niemann for the LIV Golf Individual Championship. Rahm finished first in GIR and in the top-10 in birdies per round, scrambling, putting average and driving distance. His major performances left much to be desired, however, as he finished T45 in his defense of the Masters before missing the cut at the PGA Championship and withdrawing from the U.S. Open Championship. Rahm did manage to finish T7 at The Open, and he was agonizingly close to winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics before blowing a four-shot lead on the back nine of the final round to finish T5. Rahm will be in the field for all four major championships in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
