After his triumphant performance at the Open de España, Jon Rahm mentioned not only his idol Seve Ballesteros during his championship speech, but also congratulated his countryman Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra, who celebrated his victory at LIV Golf a few hours earlier.

“Although some people try to make us see them (LIV Golf players) as enemies, he’s just a 22-year-old guy who won against some of the strongest players on the planet,” Ram said. – Congratulations, Eugenio, if you can see that.

The statement was echoed by LIV Golf Chairman Greg Norman, who was quick to point out that this is how relationships in professional golf should be constructed.

A few days earlier John had also reiterated his opinion on the participation of players from the new League in the Ryder Cup: “The Ryder Cup – it’s not a struggle of PGA Tour and European Tour against LIV Golf, but the confrontation between Europe and the USA. And that’s the point. Each side has the best players on each side, and to me the Ryder Cup comes first. I hope they can play, but it looks unlikely.”
