Jon Rahm outdoes all LIV Golfers to be the circuit MVP despite only winning twice: Report

Last week, Jon Rahm finished joint runner-up at LIV Golf Riyadh, marking yet another close finish on the Saudi-backed circuit. Although he joined LIV Golf only last year, data suggests that he is the most valuable player on the circuit despite having just two wins.

On Tuesday, February 11, Kyle Porter of Normal Sport shared a report by Rick Gehman, who runs RickRunGood. According to the report, Rahm’s stats were far ahead of the next-best player, Tyrrell Hatton, and it wasn’t even close.

The Spaniard, who joined LIV Golf just before the 2024 season, has played 41 rounds so far, gaining an impressive +2.42 strokes per round. The next best is his Legion XIII teammate, Tyrrell Hatton, who has gained 1.93 strokes per round. Hatton, in turn, is 0.70 strokes ahead of Joaquín Niemann in this ranking.

What’s particularly interesting is that the difference between Rahm and Niemann (third on the list) is the same as the difference between Niemann and Kevin Na, who isn’t even in the top 14.

Another area where Rahm excels is his consistency on the LIV Golf circuit; he has an 86.7% top-10 rate and a 60% top-5 rate, which is leaps and bounds ahead of his competitors.
