"You never know" - Jon Rahm says he doesn't know how many 'tough' Monday qualifiers he would clear

Jon Rahm, one of golf's brightest stars, recently expressed doubt about the number of difficult Monday qualifiers he'll successfully navigate in a season. Rahm discussed the arduous process in an exclusive conversation with Monday Q Info.

When asked by Monday Q Info how many Monday qualifiers he predicts he'll beat in a season, Rahm said:

"Honestly, it's only one day so it's up to showing up and playing good. Making it through is quite an accomplishment, to be honest. Fortunately really doesn't give you much cause you still have to perform the rest of the week. I don't know how many I'll make it honestly. I like to think quite a few but you never know. I can give you a number out of 26, If you play all 26 and you make it somewhere 3 or 5 it's a really good number".

Monday qualifiers are the first step toward qualifying for a professional golf event. They are well-known for their competitive character, frequently needing players to achieve remarkable performances in order to qualify for the main event.
