Jon Rahm has called for LIV Golf to revise its points system after clinching the 2025 individual title without winning a single tournament. The Spaniard, who finished top of the standings for the second consecutive year, admitted his victory felt hollow compared to rival Joaquin Niemann's five wins.
Speaking on the Subpar podcast, Rahm said: 'I would say that winning the individual classification doesn't carry the same weight as last year, without having won, especially considering that Joaquín won five times. You could argue that maybe he deserved it more.' He added that he hopes the system will be changed to reward tournament victories.
Rahm's consistency saw him finish inside the top 10 in all but one of his 13 events, while Niemann won in Adelaide, Singapore, Mexico City, Virginia and Britain. The 31-year-old acknowledged that Niemann's 'few bad weeks' cost him the title, but expects changes to be implemented.
In other LIV developments, the tour is transitioning to 72-hole tournaments and increasing relegated players to 11, as part of efforts to secure World Golf Ranking status. Meanwhile, five-time major champion Brooks Koepka has reapplied for PGA Tour membership after leaving LIV early, citing family reasons.
