Rahm Secures Victory in Mexico as LIV Golf Faces Uncertainty
Jon Rahm sealed a dominant win at the LIV Golf Mexico City event, carding a 7-under 64 on Sunday to claim a six-shot victory, his second of the year on the Saudi-backed tour. This triumph comes amidst a tumultuous week for LIV Golf, marked by concerns over its financial stability due to reports that the Saudi Public Investment Fund may withdraw its support. Despite these challenges, including a power outage and streaming issues during the tournament, LIV Golf announced its return to Chapultepec Golf Club in 2024. Rahm, who went winless last season but claimed the points title, started strong with a birdie on the second hole and an eagle on the next, playing bogey-free to secure his win. His victory was a welcome turnaround after a disappointing performance at the Masters. Meanwhile, Bryson DeChambeau withdrew from the final round due to a wrist injury, ending his bid for a third consecutive LIV Golf win. Rahm's team, Legion XIII, also secured its first win of the year, while David Puig finished second, significantly improving his world ranking and likely securing a spot in the PGA Championship.
