LIV Golf enters its home stretch, and Rahm can become champion for the third year in a row
Barrika's golfer, with 928.5 points in the overall ranking, needs to win the third crown in the United Nations Championship, while American Bryson DeChambeau, second in the ranking, with 644.4 points, does not need to be ranked second.
Saudi Arabia's LIV Golf League will resume its calendar on Thursday after a six-week standstill with the UK championship, in which Vizcaíno Jon Rahmcould become champion for the third year in a row in the absence of two more tests by the end of the season.
Rahm, with 928.5 points, needs to win again to become champion, and theAmerican Bryson DeChambeau , second in the overall ranking, with 644.4 points, does not need to be ranked second. The third, already without options, is the Chilean Joaquín Niemann, with 344.6 points. The win in each tournament yields 200 points, 113 for the second and 75 for the third.
Apart from the United Kingdom, the New York and Indianapolis tournaments remain, both in the United States in August, after the New Orleans (USA) tournament was suspended in June. Doubts persist about the continuity of the LIVsafter the Saudi sovereign fund decided that it would stop donating money to the circuit at the end of this season.
If we mathematically secure the overall win, it would be the third crown for Rahm in his three LIV seasons.
Ifwe win at Rocester in the centre of England, the Lion of Barrika would pocket about 3.5million euros, and if we retain the crown, it would add a bonus of 5.2 million euros.
This season, Rahm has won two championships, Hong Kong and Mexico, while DeChambeau has won in Singapore and South Africa , but the Biscayan has four seconds and a fifth in the nine contested.
Apart from sports, as I said, doubts aboutthe future of the league remain . Scott O'Neil , CEO of LIV , met with the players on Tuesday.
