Jon Rahm Reveals 1 Player He’d Switch His Game With at PGA Championship

Published

on

Jon Rahm is at the Quail Hollow Club to play the PGA Championship, the second major of the season. The LIV Golf star has finished in the top 10 in every league event he has played this season and is one of the odds-on favorites to win the event.

Still, Rahm would not rule out the possibility of changing parts of his game with others of his peers if given the chance. Answering questions from the press on the subject, the Spaniard confirmed that the course they will be playing on would have a lot to do with it.

“Oh, my God. Based on the success he’s had here, you almost have to go with some part of Rory’s game. He’s done incredible here, and it’s because he’s good at everything obviously.”

“I think the obvious answer for a lot of people probably would say his driving on this golf course, but I think, as a pretty good driver myself, I’m going to choose how well he’s been able to putt on those greens.”

“…If I have to go pick one, just because he’s done so well here, I’m going to say how well Rory has done here, maybe on the greens and around the greens.”

Rory McIlroy has four wins and five other top-10s in 13 starts at Quail Hollow, including 12 editions of the Wells Fargo Championship (now the Truist Championship) and the 2017 edition of the PGA Championship.

Rahm also revealed that McIlroy’s skills are not the only ones he would like to make his own:

“I would also say if I had to go with somebody who was maybe statistically a better putter, it’s hard to go with somebody other than Xander, especially in recent years. I mean, I can rifle off about 10 different players, Scottie’s iron game or quite a few other guys about their wedge game.”

The Spaniard has only played Quail Hollow twice, with no outstanding results. He tied for 58th at the 2017 PGA Championship and missed the cut at the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship.

His record at the current second major of the season includes eight appearances with two top 10s, a tie for fourth in 2018 and a tie for eighth in 2021. His most recent finish was a missed cut at Valhalla in 2024.

Rahm joined LIV Golf in December 2023 and has since played in 19 league events. He has finished in the top 10 in all of them, with two wins and the individual title for the 2024 season.

Yet, his performances in majors has left plenty to be desired.

Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.

We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.

Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.

Tennis fans across the globe are rallying behind Holger Rune, after the Danish star shared an emotional but determined message following his devastating Achilles injury that abruptly ended his 2025 season.

The 22-year-old, known for his fierce competitiveness and electric energy on court, was forced to retire during the Stockholm Open semifinals after collapsing in pain mid-match against Ugo Humbert. Moments later, Rune confirmed what fans feared — a torn Achilles tendon, one of the toughest injuries any athlete can face.

But instead of silence or despair, Rune chose to face the challenge head-on. In a heartfelt message posted to social media, he wrote:

“It’s gonna be a while before I can step on court again… It’s tough. I had so much joy out there, and it’s unbearable to think I won’t feel that energy for some time. But I’ll be back — stronger, wiser, and more grateful than ever.”

His words, filled with pain yet overflowing with resilience, immediately resonated with millions. Fellow players, coaches, and fans flooded his post with encouragement, calling him a “fighter”, a “true champion in spirit”, and the embodiment of perseverance.

Rune has already undergone successful surgery and, in a move that stunned many, shared photos of himself training from a seated position — refusing to let recovery stop his momentum. The images showed a young man focused not on what he’s lost, but on what he can rebuild.

Even as he faces months of rehabilitation, Rune’s story has become a symbol of mental toughness and grace under pressure. His family and team remain by his side, reminding the tennis world that this setback doesn’t define his career — it refines it.

As one fan beautifully wrote:

“He may be off the court, but his spirit is still winning matches.”

For Holger Rune, this isn’t the end of a season — it’s the start of a comeback story that could inspire a generation. 💥🔥
