Rahm admits he has leant on his fellow Spaniard for some words of widsom in all three of his appearances in the European Ryder Cup team (2018, 2021, 2023).
Speaking to the media at Marco Simone on Tuesday afternoon, Rahm said of Garcia:
When pressed further on when he held these conversations, Rahm said:
Now one of the more experienced players in the team alongside Rory McIlroy, can Rahm pass on any useful experience and words of encouragement for the four rookies in this year's European Ryder Cup team?
Rahm replied:
Rahm admitted he was extremely shy when he made his Ryder Cup debut in 2018.
Rahm played in three matches that week and only took a point, but it was a big point at that given he took down a certain Tiger Woods in the Sunday singles.
Europe went on to win emphatically 17.5-10.5 at Le Golf National in France.
USA won last time out in a record 19-9 victory on home soil at Whistling Straits.
While they are defending champions this week, they are bidding to win the Ryder Cup for the first time on European soil in 30 years.
Rahm intends to keep the streak alive.
