Jon Rahm is starting to get into the groove on the LIV Golf circuit.
After winning a major in Hong Kong, the Spaniard came to the Sentosa Golf Club with added motivation.
Rahm has highlighted his most recent achievements, noting the profound impact of winning. Personally, his victory has put to rest the naysayers, the critics of his performance over the last two seasons.
In the press conference, Rahm disclosed the most significant change to his equipment. "Only driver. The only change from last year is the new Quantum driver," said the captain of Legion XIII.
Rahm needed the new driver to better control his ball flight. "What I see with the Quantum, at least for me, I do not see the left miss as much," Rahm stated.

Interestingly, he's not the only one using the Quantum driver. Players like Akshay Bhatia used the Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond Max driver and won the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational just days ago.
Rahm tries to avoid changing his entire setup and usually only changes the head. He has noted difficulties when trying to overengineer his setup.
Given that his new driver is already better suited to a more reliable fade, Rahm has mentioned that his confidence in the Masters has increased significantly. The adjustment improved a crucial aspect of confidence off the tee.
Jon Rahm's Global Ambition and Mastery
Jon Rahm's victory in Hong Kong marks his 8th win in 8 different countries. He now hopes to achieve a feat that only legends like Seve Ballesteros have, in winning tournaments in over 20 countries.
"It shows the true greatness of a player if you can win in any type of environment," Rahm said. He considers the game's greats, those who can win in all types of setups.
The Spaniard still has to finish his business in Singapore before traveling to South Africa. As far as Augusta is concerned, he will deal with that when the time comes.
In addition to the equipment, the mental concentration of Rahm is not disrupted by external factors. He also stressed the necessity to compartmentalize personal challenges to ensure that performance is high.
It is yet to be seen whether this technical move will deliver historic back-to-back title wins.
Rahm takes this energy to the LIV Golf Singapore tournament that will start, in fact, this Thursday, March 12, 2026.

LIV Golf vs PGA Tour: How 2025 Has Treated Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler2025 showed golf’s great divide through two of its biggest stars. Jon Rahm thrived on LIV Golf with flawless consistency, a second straight season-long title, and another massive financial year. Scottie Scheffler answered on the PGA Tour with six wins, dominant major performance,s and record bonus payouts. Together, they defined the split era with contrasting styles and equally powerful seasons. Joe Robbins/Icon Sportswire/ImagoScottie Scheffler put together one of the most profitable seasons in modern PGA Tour history. Across 20 tournaments, he collected 6 victories: The CJ Cup, PGA Championship, the Memorial Tournament, The Open Championship, BMW Championship, and Procore Championship, along with a steady run of top-10 finishes, and strong play in every major stretch of the year. Wins at the PGA Championship, The Open, the Memorial Tournament, and the BMW Championship powered his total to $27,659,553 in official earnings. James Marsh/ShutterstockJon Rahm’s 2025 season was built on steady, high-value results across LIV Golf. He recorded runner-up finishes in Riyadh, Chicago and Indianapolis and added another second place in Andalucía, supported by consistent top-10s in Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico City, and the United Kingdom. He earned more than $18,837,876 in official tournament earnings, even as he finished the year without an individual win. Oscar J.Barroso/ImagoScottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm both earned $18 million in season-long bonuses in 2025, but through completely different systems. Scheffler topped the PGA Tour’s revamped regular-season structure, collecting $10 million from the new FedEx Cup bonus and $8 million from the Comcast Top 10. Rahm matched that total by winning LIV Golf’s Individual Championship. Fred Kfoury III Icon Sportswire/ImagoUnder John's direction, Legion XIII claimed 4 regular-season team victories, Riyadh, Mexico City, Andalucía and the UK, and never finished outside the top 8 all year. That consistency carried them into the finale as the No. 1 seed, where they delivered again, winning the LIV Golf Team Championship in Michigan after a playoff against Crushers GC. Behind Rahm’s steadiness and structure, Legion XIII became the defining team force of the 2025 season. Ben Hsu/Icon Sportswire/ImagoRahm’s 2025 campaign was defined by elite steadiness: top-10 finishes in all 13 LIV events he played. His run included near-misses in Riyadh and Indianapolis, plus a $2.25M runner-up finish in Andalucía. That consistency delivered him the season-long Individual Championship for the second straight year, cementing his status as LIV’s most reliable performer. Rob Schumacher-USA TODAY NetworkScheffler delivered the most complete winning season on the PGA Tour in 2025. He claimed six victories, including THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, the PGA Championship, the Memorial Tournament, the Open, the BMW Championship, and the Procore Championship. Each win reinforced his grip on the world stage and showcased a level of control rarely seen in modern golf. John Adams/Icon Sportswire/ImagoScheffler turned consistency into a trademark, posting 17 top-10 finishes in 20 events, with every start resulting in a made cut. He finished runner-up twice, rarely fell outside contention, and ranked inside the top tier of nearly every statistical category. Week after week, Scheffler stood out as the PGA Tour’s most complete, pressure-proof force. John Angelillo/ImagoThe majors told two different stories in 2025. Scottie Scheffler delivered the year’s defining moments, winning both the PGA Championship and The Open with commanding performances. Jon Rahm didn’t claim a major but stayed firmly in the mix, finishing T14 at the Masters, T8 at the PGA Championship, and T7 at the U.S. Open. In a divided golf landscape, Scheffler brought the major glory while Rahm supplied the steadiness. Brett Davis/ImagoScottie Scheffler’s 2025 campaign showed complete command of the PGA Tour. He delivered 6 victories, 19 top tens, and perfect consistency in 20 starts. His season featured wins at the PGA Championship, The Open, the Memorial Tournament and the BMW Championship. Every result positioned him as the standout force on a tour reshaped by rising competition and evolving formats. Steve Roberts/ImagoScheffler’s success extended beyond the scorecard as major brands strengthened their ties with him throughout 2025. Nike, TaylorMade, Titleist, and TaylorMade Spider Tour X putters remained central to his equipment and apparel identity. Off the course, he represented Veritex Community Bank, Rolex, NetJet, and Turtlebox Audio.

The entire roster, including Tyrrell Hatton, Caleb Surratt, and Tom McKibbin, now competes in custom Greyson kits. Josex Manuel Alvarez Rey/ImagoJon Rahm’s LIV record shows dominance through consistency rather than individual wins. He secured the season-long Individual Championship in both 2024 and 2025, collecting an $18 million bonus for each year, yet registered zero individual victories in 2025. Rahm also improved his team ledger, moving from a 2024 runner-up finish to decisively winning the 2025 Team Championship with Legion XIII.
