Jon Rahm unintentionally daggers Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy
Jon Rahm has offered his latest thoughts on Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's new golf league, explaining TGL is different to what he expected.
Jon Rahm admitted Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's golf league, TGL, is 'different to what I expected'.
Rahm is back at Olympia Fields for the second leg of the PGA Tour's 2023 FedEx Cup Playoffs at the BMW Championship.
He retained the No.1 ranking after the FedEx St. Jude Championship - won by a sweaty Lucas Glover - but was a non-factor in the tournament.
An off-colour 73 was followed by rounds of 67, 67 and 68 but in the end that was 10 strokes back of Glover and Patrick Cantlay before they headed to a playoff.
Rahm has happy memories of this venue, having won here in 2020. He sank a 66-foot birdie putt to defeat Dustin Johnson in a playoff.
"It's obviously a very different week, " Rahm told on reporters on Tuesday. "We don't have COVID rules. Everybody is here present, and we don't have those Zoom media calls."
Rahm added that he beyond the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake.
