Jon Rahm has his eyes set on Spanish Open triumph following Ryder Cup mate Robert MacIntyre’s home success. Both MacIntyre and Rahm were a part of the European squad’s success in the 2025 Ryder Cup. Following that, in the next week, MacIntyre played at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, which took place in Scotland, and won the event with 18 under.
On the other hand, Rahm took a week's gap after the Ryder Cup, and he would next play at the Spanish Open, which was his home soil event as a Spaniard. Before the tournament, the LIV golfer joined the press conference and shared his motivation to win the event after Robert MacIntyre’s success. He said ( via ASAP Sports):
"I would say after watching Bob MacIntyre win in Scotland it's a huge positive, yeah. From going to having the crowd against us to having everybody cheer for me is going to be very special. Massive difference, massive juxtaposition but beautiful if a different way, right. I'm looking forward to it. Looking forward to hopefully getting that fourth Spanish Open. And again, hoping to actually just perform well in front of this crowd. They have been so good to me, they have been so supportive...is give many my best shot.”

The Spaniard continued to explain how he had packed up weeks: first playing the Ryder Cup and then the Spanish Open. His words were,
“it's possibly two of the most emotional weeks for me, right. Being part of a Ryder Cup is something so unique, so special, especially winning away. It's incredible. It's an incredible feeling. But then coming to Spain, an event that matters so much to me, hoping to win for the fourth time. Hard to put it into words, right.”
Jon Rahm had thirteen top 10 finishes in the LIV league in the 2025 season, including a T2 at the LIV Golf Riyadh, a T2 at the LIV Golf Chicago, and a second-place finish at the LIV Golf Andalucia.
