Jon Rahm, a type of routines, is off the day. “If I am used to getting in bed at 9.30 and waking up at five o. where Thursday starts the fourth season of Liv Golf with novelties. To begin with, that the first tournament is played at night and that, unlike the previous seasons, this time the lowest card of the team is not discriminated against the first two days as happened before. Each blow counts.

“This is one of the reasons because I signed for LIV, because that innovation, that of creating a new product, something different for the viewer will be very beautiful,” says Jon. “The first edition may not be perfect, but wanting to live the experience. Playing at night is unique. I have been lucky enough to have been able to train a little at home because we have a field that, although they are pairs 3, are pairs 3 You can play at night, and it is something that is very good.

He laughs and explains his reasoning. “With lights, at night. More or less the life that other athletes live. It will be the closest week to that, to basketball and those sports, which not what we usually do. It will undoubtedly be special.” Barrika’s throws her calculations and “between dinner, the fisos and that, because it will give me one.”

The first season in the league promoted by the Public Fund of Saudi Arabia was profitable for Jon. He won the individual title, two tournaments -inglaterra and the Chicago final- and three team events. Now Legion XIII has incorporated a large budding star like Tom McKibby, the 22 -year -old NoriRlandés, who disregarding Mcilroy’s advice, signed for this competition just two weeks ago. “For some issues and others its incorporation has been delayed. It is obvious that the arrival of a sponsor (Callaway), which is also yours,” he explained. “It is a luxury to have him in the team. A young boy, but with that experience, already winner of the DP World Tour …. Anyway, we are stronger than last year, but we put the bar very high and the new rules They won’t help. “

And, incidentally, take pressure to the boy. “You put him in the first week in LIV, with everything that this circuit has differently and on top of night. It is a very complicated week to start, but I would not be surprised if he plays very well because he has so much talent …” .

His victory in the general places it “in the top 5 of my victories,” he argues. For Rahm, obvious, the greats are above “and also the Ryder Cup because it is special. But they are different categories. But get the League in the first year, with equal doubts that there was about me, not playing my best golf, if I put it there.

Precisely the Ryder Cup is one of the five primary appointments in 2025 with the great four – in which for the first time he will play scenarios in which he has already played – and the dialogue with Captain Luke Donald is fluid. “I’ve been talking with him a lot. Communication is constant. Today it is very easy Everything that brings to the team inside and outside the field. “
