Another fan criticized Jon Rahm’s decision to switch to LIV Golf. He said that the league was having enough money flowing inside their dynamics but nobody watched or cared about it.
What a waste to go to liv. Where the money is flowing but no one is watching or cares.

There was a fan who had a similar opinion stating that Jon Rahm does not have a smooth swing but added that it was short and quick.
Rahm does not have a smooth swing. It is short and very quick.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the comments from the fans:
181 ball speed on that short of a backswing is insane, it’s those big meaty ham hocks of legs he’s got

Smooth swing my @$$, the guy has the power of a locomotive and the swing of a hurricane. I wonder how many club shafts have snapped in the middle of that powerful swing.

Apparently not smooth enough for real professional golf.

When is Jon Rahm Expected To Make His LIV Golf Debut?
As per the LIV Golf’s official announcement, Jon Rahm is expected to have a new team to captain. This means there will be 13 teams instead of 12 this season in 2024.
The first LIV Golf tournament is starting on February 2, 2024, with the first tournament being scheduled at El Camaleón Golf Course in Mayakoba. It will be the second year in a row that Mayakoba will be hosting the opening event of the season of the Saudi-backed league.
Jon Rahm will certainly make his debut at Mayakoba with his new team and players. As per reports, LIV Golf is targeting Caleb Surratt, one of the top amateur golfers, and the 2023 US Open Champion Wyndham Clark to join the new team.
With the form that the Spaniard is currently carrying, he would certainly be a favorite at LIV Golf Mayakoba. And if he wins the tournament, he will certainly gain more attention than ever.
