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.
Jon Rahm On LIV Golf’s Future
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.
"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.
