Jon Rahm leads the LIV Golf event in Mexico while battling persistent swing issues. The 2023 Masters champion posted scores of 65 and 67 at Club de Golf Chapultepec.
These struggles follow a disappointing tie for 38th at Augusta last week. Rahm confirmed he is changing his preparation to fix his ball-striking.
“Well, I'm working on some things right now that I've been doing wrong with the swing and I definitely did last week, and some of those swings are still appearing, like the tee shot on 12 and the tee shot on 15. So still trying to work through things like that,” Rahm recently said.

Last week, at the Masters, Rahm and other LIV Golfers didn’t live up to the expectations. Rahm finished tied for 38th and was never in contention to win the title. However, the 2023 Masters Champion seems to have turned things around this week.
“But I guess just try to take it one shot at a time; that's all you can do.” Rahm added.
After his second-worst finish at the Masters, Rahm admitted that he had to change his preparation.
It became clear that one of the reasons behind the poor performance was his swing, as he failed to hit even sixty percent of the greens.
"Definitely some things I'm going (to) change going forward," Rahm said.
After winning the LIV Golf Hong Kong earlier this year, Rahm will certainly look forward to improving upon his winning record.
There has been a lot of talk regarding LIV Golf’s future this week. However, Rahm has kept his focus despite the rumours.

With reports surfacing that PIF might put a halt to funding LIV, tensions have grown among the LIV Golfers and fans. However, the two-time major winner remained unfazed.

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.

"Until the people in charge told me whether the rumors were true or not. For me, it didn’t make sense to think about it or waste time thinking about it," Rahm said.
Rahm has been one of LIV's marquee signings. He has finished inside the top-10 in 29 of his 30 LIV Golf starts. Rahm would likely want to continue his nine-figure, multi-year deal.
“We were here; we knew we were going to play, so the idea was to prepare for a tournament. And that’s it.” Rahm added.
Although Rahm was left three shots behind France’s Victor Perez in the second round, his strong second round performance has taken him and his team, Legion XIII, to the top of the leaderboard.
