When it comes to players who do not appear to have gone backwards since joining LIV Golf, Jon Rahm is definitely amongst them, with the Spaniard winning the individual title during his debut season.

Losing Jon Rahm to LIV Golf was a huge blow to the PGA Tour. Rahm was one of the best players on the planet when he decided to make the jump, while he has already won two major titles.

And he has been outstanding on LIV. Rahm won twice on his way to clinching the individual title during his debut season, while Legion XIII have already won at the start of 2025.

It was a disappointing year for Rahm in the majors in 2024. He finished tied for 45th at the Masters, while he missed the cut at the PGA Championship. His only top 10 in the four biggest events on the calendar came at The Open Championship – and only after a charge on Sunday.

Jon Rahm suggests a misconception about his game

But it would be no surprise to see Rahm add a third major title before too long. Nevertheless, it seems that the 30-year-old feels that many have a real misconception about his game.

Speaking to Rick Shiels, Rahm claimed that plenty do not realise just how comfortable he is hitting shots from right to left, having been well-known as a fader of the ball during his career.

“I was, I don’t know if it’s misinterpreted or misjudged or mis-explained, I don’t know how to say it, but I’ve always hit way more draws than they make it sound. Maybe not with the driver, but with the irons, oh yeah,” he said.

“There is not a single player who gets to this high a level as a pro and doesn’t know how to move it both ways. So when they say, ‘oh he doesn’t’, to me, it’s crazy, it’s nonsense.”

What Rahm may be the worst on LIV Golf at doing

There is a part of Rahm’s game which is a real weakness, as it turns out. Thankfully, it is unlikely to be a problem at tournaments – unless he sees several flights delayed.

Rahm was facing Shiels at the start of the week ahead of LIV Golf Adelaide. And after managing to make decent contact with his first shot on the range, the European shared why he was surprised to not hit a shank.

“After flights, I swear to God, it’s bad. After a long flight, I might be the worst Tuesday golfer on the planet. Me and Tyrrell are out there,” he said.

Adelaide proved to be a less successful week for Rahm. He finished sixth in the individual standings, while Legion were second in the team race behind Fireballs.
