Rahm, who remains arguably LIV Golf's best player, spoke highly of the league's new CEO and its new network TV deal.

Jon Rahm's season started off with a missed cut in Dubai, but we're tracking two major gear changes he made in the offseason.

Jon Rahm was in the Persian Gulf this week, playing in the DP World Tour's Hero Desert Dubai Classic. It is one of the more iconic tournaments on the European Tour each year. Rahm posted a respectable opening round, but fell flat Friday, carding a 5-over 77. That was enough to send him home packing for the weekend.

Englishman Tyrrell Hatton held off Daniel Hillier of New Zealand to win the Dubai Desert Classic by a stroke on Sunday, equaling Jon Rahm's record of five Rolex Series victories. Overnight leader Hillier birdied the last to put pressure on his playing partner but Hatton held his nerve to hole his par putt from seven feet and secure the win.

He laughed and joked with playing partners, even when faced with a 10-minute wait on the last two tee shots at a slow-moving Dubai Desert Classic. Tyrrell Hatton even gave a thoughtful on-course TV interview mid-round during the final day of what ended up being his eighth career DP World Tour victory.

Hitting a fairway metal out of the sand is essentially hara-kiri for 90% of golfers. You may as well take your 5-wood and hit yourself over the head with it. The result would be approximately the same. But the 2021 U.S. Open and 2023 Masters champion is decidedly NOT one of us and this ridiculous sand save proves that and then some.

While Scotland's Ewen Ferguson has established a one-stroke lead at the Dubai Desert Classic after solid rounds of 67 and 65 pushed him to 12 under par, Jon Rahm of Spain and Viktor Hovland of Norway were among those who missed the 36-hole cut Friday.

Jon Rahm had a tough outing at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on Friday, January 17, as he began with a 5-over 42 on the front nine.

David Ford was playing like one of the best amateurs in the world at the end of 2024. It's no surprise he starts 2025 on top of the leaderboard.
