Masters champion Jon Rahm wants the LIV Golf League to expand their events to 72 holes and believes his move to the Saudi backed tour is a power shift that could resolve the stalemate between the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) and the Tours
The 29-year-old Spaniard is looking forward to his Augusta title defence this week having finished joint fourth at last week’s LIV event in Miami, although he led his Legion XIII quartet to victory in the team event.
Speaking to BBC Sport, he said: “If there ever was a way where LIV could go to 72 holes I think it would help all of this argument a lot.
“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.”
“I understood the weight that [my] decision could have and the impact it could have. I understood that perfectly and that’s why it wasn’t an easy decision.
“The balance of golf could be disturbed a little bit. Luckily in my career, especially last year, I accomplished a lot and I got to be one of the bigger names in golf.
“There are few active players that could have had a bigger impact than myself in that sense. Not to be patting myself on the back too much, but I understood the position I was in.”
