Jon Rahm has become one of the best quotes in golf over the last few years and is known to speak his mind. Wednesday was no different.
Jon Rahm's news conference ahead of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai started with the Spaniard receiving honorary life membership on the tour and ended with him unloading on the"laughable" Official World Golf Ranking.
"I'm going to be as blunt as I can. I think the OWGR right now is laughable. Laughable. Laughable," said Rahm."The fact that the doesn't have any of the top 20 in the world has more points than this event where we have seven of the top 20 is laughable. The fact that Wentworth had less points than Napa, having players in the top 10 in the world is laughable."projects this week's winner of the RSM Classic in Sea Island, Georgia, will receive 38.38 points.
"Yeah, so when you look at two different fields, you've got a 50-man field versus a 144-man field . So just in terms of how the strengths of field is calculated, they have 90 more players to contribute to their strength of field," said McIlroy."So the reason that this has got 21 points and the RSM has got 39 is the person that wins the RSM has to beat 139 other guys. You only have to beat 49 other guys here. It's a much fairer system.
"I understand what they were trying to do when they changed some things," said Rahm,"but I think like I said, they missed the mark."
