Rahm’s plan to build LIV ‘trust’
Major champion Jon Rahm says his call for LIV to expand to 72-hole events could bring more “trust” in the fledgling tour, while chief executive Greg Norman declared officials were “very open-minded” about the idea.
One of the key reasons LIV events were denied Official World Rankings points was because tournaments were only played over 54 holes and Rahm, the two-time major champion who signed a nine-figure contract to join this season, raised the idea in the lead-in to last week’s Masters.
Speaking in Adelaide on Wednesday, ahead of his first tournament in Australia since the 2016 World Cup in Melbourne, Rahm outlined why he thought the shift could enhance LIV’s status and the overall product.
“I think there’s a level of comfort when I say that because it’s a little bit more of what we’re used to seeing in golf,” Rahm, still the world No.4, said.
“I came to this realisation, and I think it could help a lot of fans’ trust in LIV a little bit more because that’s a lot of the complaints that I see from a lot of people. But I made the analogy a little bit ago of why I think we can end up with a great product.
