BOLINGBROOK, Ill. — The year is far from complete but Jon Rahm put an emphatic stamp on the part that came to define him in 2024 with his controversial move to
the LIV Golf League.
“I wouldn't say bumpy road, but definitely winding,” Rahm said. “Made the decision to join LIV Golf, fully confident that I can make an impact, and you deal with the emotions of that decision, the impact of the media, good and bad, and then going out to the season trying to win, trying to get a team together, a message of the team across, and then get those winning moments and start the year off great.
The individual title meant an $18 million bonus to Rahm, who signed a lucrative nine-figure deal with LIV Golf last December believed to be for more than $200 million. That form held for the entire season and Rahm began to find his game after his foot healed and a more favorable shaft for his driver came together. He got his first victory at the LIV Golf UK event the week following a tie for ninth at the British Open.
