Jon Rahm Advocates for 72-Hole Format in LIV Golf to Foster Sport's Unification

The Masters champion suggests the change could lead to a global tour and attract more top players.

Jon Rahm, the Masters champion and LIV Golf player, advocates for the Saudi-backed circuit to adopt a 72-hole format to aid in unifying the sport.
Rahm believes that aligning LIV Golf's format more closely with traditional golf tournaments could facilitate a global tour and attract more top players.
The current LIV Golf format features 54-hole events with no cuts, contrasting sharply with other professional golf tournaments.
Rahm's suggestion comes amid ongoing debates about the impact of LIV Golf on the sport and its division from the PGA Tour.
Rahm, who joined LIV Golf in December 2023, emphasizes the potential for the change to benefit the sport's unification and appeal.
