Jon Rahm face this week second FedEx Cup playoff, the BMW Championship it already won in 2020 (he also has 4 top ten) beating Dustin Johnson after an electrifying tournament final, with his batteries recharged after his recent second fatherhood, the good feelings especially on the greens last week in Memphis (5th) and does not lose sight of This is an issue that currently dominates the current circuit, the Arab Super League (LIV Golf), although the Basque is concerned about this issue and is justifiably concerned. Jon is on the PGA Tour Players Advisory Council.
On a competitive level, the only goal at Wilmington Country Club this week is to win the tournament. “My goal is to finish as high as possible in the standings. I’m playing to win, and if not, I’ll try to finish second, and if not, third, and so on. 30th is better than 31st. Simple. as that. My mindset doesn’t really change. I know the consequences going into next week if you miss a shot or not, but you can’t be down the stretch in thinking if I don’t make a birdie I’m going to be 17th next week. week. I choose to focus on what I have to do at the moment,” said Rahm at the official pre-BMW press conference.
As for the FedEx Playoffs, Jon recalled that he was not very much in favor of the system of the final (in Atlanta, next week) with advantage strokes according to the classification, although he did not know of a better alternative. “I’ve made my position clear in the past. I don’t think it’s the best system. You don’t get to the Super Bowl and the team with the best record starts with a two-touchdown lead. Neither Djokovic has one- touchdown lead.” set on Kyrgios at Wimbledon. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous, but it’s the best option we have right now. I understand that’s how the qualifiers work and I understand that it’s easier for the viewers. and for us to know what’s going on. I don’t know what it is the solution. In the same way, it’s ridiculous that you can win all the tournaments of the year until the Final, have a bad week and can finish 30th. I don’t think it’s fair, but it is what it is”, highlighted the man from Barrika.
When asked about the controversial LIV Golf (Superliga)-PGA Tour-Rogue players, the recent court decision reaffirming the American circuit’s decision not to allow LIV Golf players to compete in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, acknowledged Jon that this is not an issue with that I spend a lot of time. But Rahm was clear that if the LIV golfers were able to play the Playoffs he would accept it even though it would be an uncomfortable situation.

“I didn’t pay attention. I passed by the players’ lounge last week and I saw about 10 very nervous people walking around the room and I thought… well, something is going on. I asked and they told me. I stood there when the judge gave their decision, but only because I passed and they told me it was time. I think if they had played things would have been a little awkward. They chose to leave the PGA Tour and join another tour knowing the consequences. Then trying to go back and get it through the courts and the justice system… it’s not going to go well with me,” he assured.
To settle the matter in front of reporters, Rahm said that the dispute with LIV Golf will take a long time. “I’m sure the LIV side will continue to try and change some things. But I also know that the PGA Tour lawyers will continue to fight to keep it this way. This won’t be the last we hear from them. I also think we’re not losing much because, like I said, we’re discovering other great players like Will Zalatoris who were there that you haven’t heard of before.”
