“In theory, nothing” - Jon Rahm treats PGA Championship final round like a ‘regular LIV event’

Jon Rahm stated that he would treat the 2025 PGA Championship final round like a normal LIV Golf event. He is playing in the second major of the PGA Tour schedule and is over with three days of play. Following that, the golfer joined a press conference, where he was asked about his upcoming plans for the final round.

In response, the Spaniard answered that his routine wouldn't change majorly. He said:

“In theory, nothing. In theory, nothing. I don't think my process will change, my routine will change at all. I will do exactly the same thing here for an event here, for a regular LIV event, for a regular PGA TOUR event, DP World Tour event. The process, the routine doesn't change. The main difference is the stage, right. We are all aware what we're here for and what's at the end and what's at stake. That's the main difference.”

Jon Rahm scored 6-under after three rounds, with a 70 in the first round after carding five birdies. He scored 70 in the second round with two birdies and 67 in the third round with seven birdies.
