Jon Rahm, the Spanish golf maestro who has claimed victories in multiple continents, has recently voiced his opinion on a severely underrated golf tournament that he believes is worthy of more attention. Rahm has traversed the global golfing circuits, swinging his way to success on the PGA, DP World, and LIV Golf tours. His victories span from the greens of the United States, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Ireland, to his native Spain.
At 30 years old, Rahm has gained considerable insight into the world of professional golf. He recently revealed his pick for the most underappreciated tournament, a hidden gem in the golfing world that doesn’t receive the recognition it deserves.
While the four major championships and top PGA Tour events such as The Players and the Arnold Palmer Invitational are universally acknowledged, Rahm argues that LIV Golf tournaments offer a unique and undervalued experience. Despite featuring some of the world’s top golfers, including Joaquin Niemann and US Open champion Bryson DeCheambeau, LIV Golf doesn’t seem to command the same level of viewership.
Rahm’s recommendation? The LIV event in Adelaide. He passionately argued for its recognition, expressing his frustration at the lack of awareness surrounding this tournament. Rahm described the experience of playing in front of a crowd unfamiliar with high-level golf as “quite incredible.” He added, “In the world of golf, they’re doing such a disservice to the [LIV] event in Adelaide because of how big it really is and how much fun it is.”
Rahm went on to encourage fans outside Australia to consider attending, despite acknowledging the physical and financial commitment it might require. He advocated that weaving this tournament into a vacation itinerary would be a decision well rewarded.
Rahm has made quite a splash on the LIV Golf tour, establishing himself as a dominant player in his debut season. He surpassed Niemann to clinch the 2024 individual championship with wins in the United Kingdom and Chicago.
The current 2025 LIV Golf standings show Niemann and Rahm continuing their rivalry, with Niemann leading after four rounds and Rahm close behind in second place. Despite not having a win under his belt in 2025, Rahm has consistently finished in the top 10 in all four tournaments (Riyadh, Adelaide, Hong Kong, and Singapore).
As an experienced and successful player, Rahm’s endorsement of the Adelaide event is a testament to its quality and uniqueness. His call to action for fans to explore the LIV Golf tour’s offerings is a refreshing perspective in the world of professional golf.
