LIV Golf was started as the rival alternative to the PGA Tour. The organization lured top players to its series with big money and different rules, including team play and 54-hole tournaments.
Jon Rahm suggested LIV Golf conform with the PGA Tour in an effort to unify golf on one of the key aspects. He said the series should have 72-hole tournaments.

“If there ever was a way where LIV could go to 72 holes I think it would help all of this argument a lot,” he told BBC. “The closer I think we can get LIV Golf to some other things the better. I think it would be for some kind of unification to feed into a world tour or something like that. I don’t know if I’m alone in this, but I definitely wouldn’t mind going back to 72 holes.”
It’s not the first time Rahm took aim at the key tenet of LIV.
Before spurning the PGA Tour last year, Rahm commented on the 54-hole format.

“I do see the appeal other people see towards LIV Golf. I do see some of the points and arguments they could make toward why they prefer it,” Rahm said in 2022. “To be honest, part of the format is not really appealing to me.
“Shotgun three days, to me, is not a golf tournament – no cut. It’s that simple. I want to play against the best in the world and a format that’s been going on for hundreds of years. That’s what I want to see.”
LIV Golf hosts 14 events on its tour – each of them going three rounds. Some of the top stars will embark on a journey to win the green jacket at the Masters later this week.
