The new edition of the Masters is not far from us, and forecasts by experts and fans have already started, who have various predictions. It seems that the majority gives Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy the best chance to win this tournament. This tournament, which many call the most prestigious golf tournament, carries the excitement factor just like every year.
Golf expert Keith Stewart, analyzing this year's tournament, pointed out that Jon Rahm could be the biggest threat to the current top two golfers on the OWGR list.
In the analysis, he paid special attention to Jon Rahm, believing that at this moment he is even ahead of Xander Schauffele.
Jon Rahm, I would always be worried about. I think Jon Rahm, no matter where hes playing, is a top three talent in the world. I just think that he is.
Maybe Xander [Schauffele] is fourth but Jon Rahm is an unbelievable talent, and I think that he can win at any venue at any time. It would be nice if he had more competition to push him, but we dont live in that world.- he said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.
Jon Rahm and Majors
The Spanish golfer did not impress the public when he appeared at the Majors last year as a LIV Golfer. The experienced face of the golf scene was one of the most dominant players during his last season on the PGA Tour.
However, when he decided to become part of LIV Golf, he seemed to experience a slight decline. Some still believe that he is a golfer who could have dominated the PGA Tour if he had been.
Mitchell recalled Jon's results, aware that the Spaniard did not excel last season at the Majors.
Rahm had a very disappointing major season last year. Youve got to remember, he came with flip-flops to the US Open. He didnt play. He was tremendous to close at Troon.
He was not good at the PGA. He was not good at defending at the Masters. And then all of those LIV guys got a chance at a fifth major last year the gold medal. And we all know what happened there.
With eight holes to go, I have no idea what happened, but Scottie Scheffler won the gold and Rahm didnt even win a medal. He had a five-stroke lead on the gold.
