Jon Rahm was asked about The Masters Tournament in Singapore, and his answer revealed exactly where his focus stands.

Fresh off his Hong Kong win, Rahm moved straight into the next event.

At his LIV Golf Singapore press conference on March 10, he repeatedly shut down attempts to move the conversation toward April.

"We're here this week. We're in South Africa next week, and then we still have two weeks off," he said. "I'm going to worry about what I have to do today. Here in Singapore and think about Augusta when the time comes to it."

"There's things we can do while prepping for tournaments that also help for Augusta," he said. "So it's a balancing act."

His Hong Kong win also brought momentum. The night before the final round, Rahm said he barely slept while following a situation involving other players, and once it settled, he felt a release.

He then went out and put together a really clean stretch on the back nine, making four birdies, especially on holes 13, 14, and 15, which he said were about as well as he could play.

His putting, especially from mid-range, has been better too, and that’s starting to show in his results.

After two inconsistent years, Rahm now says every part of his game feels in a good place. That’s not something he’s been able to say for a while.

Why Jon Rahm's Adaptability Makes Him a Masters Threat

Rahm said in Singapore that the best players adjust to different courses instead of waiting for one that suits them.

That matters at Augusta National Golf Club, where wind, pin positions, and green speeds keep changing.

Recent LIV Golf events have forced that kind of adjustment. Rahm has handled different layouts without relying on one fixed approach.

His improved form, sharper putting, and controlled approach position him well, even if he isn't focused on Augusta yet.

Rahm has two more events before he needs to think about any of that. But everything pointing toward April looks stronger than it has in a while.

What do you think about Jon Rahm's Masters chances this year? Let us know in the comments.
