The 2024 LIV Golf season will culminate with the Team Championship in Dallas this week, with Jon Rahm having just won the Individual Championship.
Rahm says people have been too quick to judge LIV Golf, which is still in its infancy compared to the PGA Tour.
The rival tours continue to not see eye-to-eye, with last summer’s framework agreement having failed to produce a concrete deal between LIV and the PGA Tour.
Tiger Woods and Adam Scott were among the PGA representatives to hold talks with the PIF, which funds LIV, last week.
The FedEx Cup Playoffs have recently come to an end, but the FedEx Cup Fall is now underway, having kicked off with last week’s Procore Championship.
The four hardest courses LIV Golf played in 2024
The Presidents Cup is up next, while the LIV stars will head to Dallas for the Team Championship at Maridoe Golf Club.
A lot has been made of the difficulty and spectatorship of the breakaway tour, among other issues, with Pro Golf Critic now shedding light on the former on X after the conclusion of the Individual Championship.
Based on the cumulative winning team score in 2024, LIV Golf Valderrama in Spain ranks as the hardest course at -5.
Chicago’s Bolingbrook comes in second at -14, followed by Miami’s Doral and Mexico’s Mayakoba at -22 and -24 respectively.
How did Jon Rahm do in the 2024 PGA Tour season?
LIV Golf certainly has its critics, with course difficulty often arising in discussions about the PIF-funded venture.
Ryan Lavner says LIV players like Rahm need difficult courses in order to compete at major championships, with the Spaniard certainly not enjoying his best PGA Tour season.
The former world number one missed the US Open with a foot injury, having finished T45 at the Masters and missing the cut at the PGA Championship.
A much better T7 finish was, however, secured at The Open Championship, with Rahm also impressing at the Olympics before falling to T5.
The money involved in LIV Golf has also taken centre stage, although Rahm remains behind Scottie Scheffler in season earnings, even with his Individual Championship victory.
