Jon Rahm won for the second time on LIV Golf this season, after securing a six-stroke victory in Mexico City.
Rahm shot a final round 64 at LIV Golf Mexico City to end up on 21 under par – six shots clear of second-placed David Puig.
The 31-year-old Spaniard has shown some terrific form on LIV Golf so far this season.
Do you want LIV Golf to fold?
Does LIV make professional golf in general better or worse?
In six starts in 2026, he has won twice and has three runner-up finishes to his name. His worst tournament so far ended with a fifth-placed finish in Singapore.
However, Rahm faces an uncertain future with LIV Golf right now, after it emerged last week that Saudi Arabia’s PIF could withdraw their funding of the league.
It was claimed that the LIV Golf league could fold imminently, and despite Scott O’Neil coming out in defence of the league, it’s clear to see that they have big problems.
Rahm will be delighted with his win but all the Spaniard winning has done really is cap off a disastrous week or so for LIV Golf.
Why Jon Rahm’s LIV Golf Mexico win caps off a disastrous week for the league
Of course, Rahm played some excellent golf at Club de Golf Chapultepec.
21 under par for four rounds is no mean feat, and the Spaniard was in total control of his golf ball for most of the 72 holes that he played.
However, LIV Golf have a very big problem that they simply cannot escape.
Rahm’s win once again highlighted the lack of any kind of genuine competition with his six-shot victory.
Is it little wonder why he has struggled at the majors over the past three years since he joined LIV Golf?
He looked like a shadow of the player we have seen on LIV at The Masters last week, and he wasn’t alone.
From the LIV Golf contingent, only Tyrrell Hatton emerged with any kind of credit whatsoever.
The PIF-backed golf league can try to sell their product as something special all they want. However, the proof is in the pudding.
The interest in LIV Golf worldwide is minuscule and regardless of how many times Rahm wins, he surely won’t get any added satisfaction aside from watching his bank account swell.
Jon Rahm’s LIV Mexico victory the least meaningful win in golfing history
There is an argument to make that Rahm’s victory at LIV Mexico was the least meaningful win in golfing history.
Which player is the biggest loser if LIV Golf is shut down?
Someone other than these four? Let us know in the comments!
That may sound harsh but, genuinely, what is the meaning of his LIV Mexico win in the grand scheme of things?
LIV Golf have no history or tradition and none of their events have any genuine meaning.
Added to that, there is a genuine chance that LIV Golf will cease to exist, if PIF withdraw their funding and they are unable to find new financial backers.
Aside from money, what is Rahm actually playing for? He has already damaged his legacy by joining LIV Golf in the first place.
No amount of wins will detract from that fact.
And that is the sad reality that Rahm finds himself in right now, due to the decision he made back in December 2023.
