LIV GOLF REPORTš± Jon Rahm have been sanctioned for questioning the golf mastersā¦. Masters have breached a brutal punishment he will face!!! Which leads to the flee of Jon Rahm to PGATā¦( full video of the broadcast below š)
This yearās Menās and Womenās Olympic Golf Competition, a 72-hole individual stroke play competition, mirrors that of aĀ PGA Tour Signature Event. Like those tournaments held at Harbour Town, Cromwell, and Quail Hollow, Scheffler, Schauffele, Morikawa, and Clark are all competing against each other. Itās golf in its purest form this week in Parisāevery man for themselves, playing their own ball, putting out on each hole.
But the Olympics should further distinguish itself within the golf sphere and look atĀ LIV GolfĀ for inspiration.
Along with its 54-hole individual competition, LIV Golf employs a team competition within that same tournament. Thirteen teams of four compete with each other, and by the end of the tournament, each playerās score is tallied. Whichever team has the lowest combined score among these four players wins.
So, for instance, last week, at LIV Golfās event in the United Kingdom,Ā Jon Rahmās Legion XIII team, which includes Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, Caleb Surratt, and Kieran Vincent, combined to score 26-under-par, three strokes better than the second-placed team, Rippers GC. Legion XIII consequently took home the team title, while Rahm finished on top of the leaderboard in the individual competition.
Imagine if theĀ OlympicsĀ employed this same format.
