LIV Golf must also be played in 4 rounds.”
John Lam (Spain), ranked 3rd in the men's golf world rankings, who suddenly moved to LIV Golf ahead of this season, argued that the LIV golf tournament should be held in 4 rounds instead of 3.
Rahm, who is participating in the season's first major tournament, the Masters, as the defending champion, said in an interview with the BBC on the 9th (Korean time), "It will help avoid controversy if LIV Golf is held as a 72-hole tournament."
LIV Golf determines the winner through three rounds of 54 holes, and the World Golf Rankings (OWGR), which determines the world rankings, pointed to the fact that it is a 54-hole tournament as one of the reasons for not awarding ranking points to LIV Golf.
Without exception, the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, as well as major men's professional golf tournaments around the world, determine the winner over 4 rounds and 72 holes.
Lam added, “I don’t know if it’s just me, but I want to go back to playing 72 holes.”
Rahm has left the PGA Tour since this year and is playing at LIV Golf, but has not yet reported a win.
