Jon Rahm has every reason to be pleased with his season after winning LIV Golf Chicago and the Individual Championship. However, he had much to say about other golfers, especially his teammate Kieran Vincent, who was relegated from LIV Golf following the final event of the season.

The 26-year-old golfer performed reasonably well in Chicago, but it wasn't enough to secure his place on the tour, which is backed by Saudi Arabia. Along with Vincent, four other golfers ended their LIV Golf journey, with Bubba Watson being the most notable among them.
Despite this, Rahm remains hopeful that Vincent can turn things around. He believes Vincent still has a chance to earn one of the spots for the next season through the Promotions event or by delivering amazing results on the Asian Tour International Series.
In an interview, Rahm revealed what he plans to say to Vincent now that his time with LIV Golf has ended. The 29-year-old golfer emphasized that Vincent can call him anytime for advice and support. Rahm is committed to maintaining his friendship with Vincent, even though the latter's departure from the tour does not mean the end of their relationship.

Rahm stressed that Vincent did not have his best season, but he believes Vincent is more talented than many realize. He has confidence that Vincent can improve his form and make a comeback to the tour. Rahm understands that it will be a difficult task for Vincent, but given that Vincent has made a comeback before, there is hope for a similar outcome.
Jon Rahm advised Kieran Vincent to stay focused and keep his head in the game, especially with only one week left in the season. He mentioned that they could talk about Vincents future plans after the season ends.
Rahm also praised Vincents talent and highlighted the positive things happening in his personal life, like his recent engagement. He described Vincent as a positive and upbeat person, which sometimes stands out in a group where he and others can be more serious. Rahm expressed confidence in Vincents potential and hoped he would find success in golf in the future.

In a recent media interview, Jon Rahm expressed his opposition to the fines imposed by the DP World Tour, emphasizing that he has voiced this stance on several occasions. Rahm admitted uncertainty about what the future holds but made it clear that he has no intention of giving up his fight.
I'm not a big fan of the fines. I think I've been outspoken about that. I don't intend to pay the fines, and we keep trying to have a discussion with them about how we can make this happen.
