Masters champion Jon Rahm has voiced his opinion on the LIV Golf series, calling for a significant change to its format. Rahm, who is looking forward to defending his title at Augusta, suggests that LIV Golf should move from its current 54-hole format to a traditional 72-hole tournament, stating 'It would help this argument a lot'. He believes that such a change would help unify the men's game and strengthen the argument for LIV Golf's place within the sport. Rahm's comments come less than six months into his tenure with the Saudi-backed circuit, indicating a proactive stance on shaping the future of golf. He also mentioned that he values all trophies equally, stating, 'A trophy is a trophy', and any LIV trophy he wins would be placed alongside his other career accomplishments.
