The 2023 Masters champ seems to be back in form. Yes, Jon Rahm had experienced a bit of a hitch on Friday owing to an unfortunate toe injury that placed him at T20 back then. But come Saturday, the Spaniard was able to dish out an amazing display of golf at LIV Golf Nashville to climb to the 3rd spot while tying himself with Bryson DeChambeau, the 2024 U.S. Open champ. But will he clinch the title as the event kicks off on Sunday at the Grove?
Keeping aside his comeback, the field of athletes will surely try to exhibit a final attempt at clinching the title, which only one will emerge successful at. It thus makes the fans wonder when the 54 golfers will tee it up at the event on Sunday, June 23, to rake in the winner’s cut of $4 million from the total prize pool!

Bryson DeChambeau in hopes of keeping up his momentum
Fresh out of a win at the 2024 U.S. Open the ‘Scientist’ would be hoping to clinch yet another win at the LIV Golf event in Nashville. The golfer is currently tied at T3 with Rahm while boasting figures of 9-under, owing to the 67-66 he carded on Friday and Saturday. Moreover, the golfer has also scored a total of 13 birdies while carding just 4 bogeys over the two rounds.
The crowd was also constantly cheering for the golfer. When asked about the same and how he was able to perform superbly on the course, DeChambeau replied, “just being able to compartmentalize, focus on the golf at hand, and execute to the best of my ability. When things don’t go my way, try to feed off the crowd a little bit to get me pumped up again, and if I hit a great shot, then interact with the fans as much as possible.”
He sure does have a formula cooked up for himself. And one can’t possibly deny the effectiveness of the same, especially after looking at his recent performance on the greens, be it the majors or the Saudi-backed league. He finished T2 at the PGA Championship while placing himself at T6 at the Masters, not to mention the other 4 top-10 finishes he raked in this season on LIV Golf.
But if you do want to find out whether he would deliver on the final day, that is something the fans need to watch out for. To find that out, the community can tune in to watch the final round of LIV Golf Nashville from LIV GOLF+ or Fancode!
