The Basque player Jon Rahmthat after leaving the PGA Tour will debut this week on LIV Golfexplained that his desire to go “to the mythical side of the warrior spirit” led him to be baptized ‘Legion XIII’ in the team with which he will compete in this circuit, with a nod to Athletichis football club, with the lion leading the shield.
“I wanted to go with the mythology of the warrior spirit for the team name. The word loyalty is very important to me. I think it goes with the warrior spirit through your decisiveness and your mentality of being ready for battle. During the Roman Empire, there was the iconic Legion XIII Gemina in Caesar’s army. They believed in the creed of faithful loyalty,” Rahm revealed, in remarks published by LIV Golf.
‘Legion XIII’ is led by Barrica, along with the Englishman Tyrrell Hattonwho also left the European Tour, the American Caleb Surratt and the Zimbabwean Kieran Vincent.
“Its premiere at LIV Golf Mayakobato be played this coming weekend at the El Camaleón golf course, in Playa del Carmen (Mexico).
As for the lion that presides over the shield of ‘Legion XIII’, Rahm, current champion of August Masters, pointing out that it has to do with one of his great passions, Athletic Club, of which he is a great follower. The lion was also the symbol of that historic Roman army.
“It was something that I was also very passionate about. The soccer team I grew up with, Athletic Bilbao, is known as the ‘lions’. It’s just a wild animal that everyone respects and fears at the same time,” he said.
Rahm also commented on the process of building the team he will lead at LIV Golf: “We’ve come a long way in a short time and we’re proud of the team and the brand we’ve built. As we’ve built the team’s brand, it’s become clear that we want I fought with a group of guys that completely aligned with what the team stands for.
“Tyrrell is a fierce competitor, a proven champion and, of course, my partner in Ryder Cup. Caleb is one of the brightest stars of the next generation in gaming. And Kieran is consistent and talented, he earned his promotion at LIV and is improving his game every day,” he added.
The Englishman Hatton, the most famous name of the four after Rahm and has also left the PGA circuit, is equally looking forward to the new phase that will begin: “I am excited for the next chapter, to connect with Jon Rahm and Legion XIII , and start now week in Mexico.”
For your part Greg Norman, commissioner and CEO of LIV Golf, emphasized that “the introduction of Legion XIII is a testament to the continued growth of LIV Golf as our league builds for the long term.” “Jon Rahm is one of the best competitors in the world and his team will have an immediate impact on the league on and off the golf course,” he added.
