JON RAHM HAS called for LIV Golf to hold a tournament in Ireland.
The two-time US Major winner told Golf Digest that he was “pushing for” LIV to hold a links event prior to future editions of The Open Championship.
And Rahm agreed with a suggestion that there could be opportunity in Ireland.
The Spaniard, who has won the Irish Open twice, said: “You’re preaching to the choir — I love Ireland.
“I’ve always felt really welcome in Ireland. It feels like home and some of the most fun rounds of golf I’ve ever played are there and there are some great venues.
“So yeah, if there was an opportunity for LIV Golf to play in Ireland it would be absolutely fantastic.”
“Obviously, LIV management have contracts in place with some venues and plans in the future,” Rahm added.
“It’s not as easy as it sounds to just say, ‘Well, let’s do this.’ [But] it’d be something I would like to talk to other players [on LIV] about because that way, there’s strength in numbers if five, six or 10 solid players [all agree]. I think a lot of people might agree with it.”

Personally lost a lot of respect for him when he said he was taking the Liv millions to secure his family’s future and grow the game. Stop patronising people who pay to see you play ….
@Daithi Mc Ghiollamhairtin: indeed, good point. There’s no way his family’s future was secure with only €77m he has earned pre LIV plus probably the same again in endorsements. How is a man expected to safeguard his family’s future with only €150m? He’s dead right..
@Andrew Hurley: He runs a home in Spain, USA and Dubai. I wanna tell you something, try it sometime when you have a couple of cars and three houses and three homes and a few housekeepers.
@Andrew Murray: I get this, but I reckon a lot of the readers here won’t. You’re in like Flynn here.
Trump International Doonbeg perfect
I pefer watching 4 rounds of golf just look at the max homa making the cut reaction at the open
Rahman is a two time winner of Majors, both in the US but so far he’s never been the Open Champion Golfer. Poor error there by the author.
@Brendan Griffin: Anyone going to point out the obvious?
@Brendan Griffin: Who’s Rahman?
Keep yer blood red golfballs off our links!
@Alan Kennedy: As opposed to the squeaky clean white ones used on the PGA tour?
No way!
