Jon Rahm has 7 potential players as replacement for outgoing Legion XIII star

Jon Rahm recently revealed that he has six or seven potential players in mind to fill the vacant spot on team Legion XIII.

Rahm joined the LIV Golf League this season and is the captain of Legion XIII. The team had a successful run, winning four titles this season, but Kieran Vincent, one of the teammates, fell into the Drop Zone, leaving one slot open for next season.

Recently, Jon Rahm was a guest on Golf Sin Etiquetas, a Spanish podcast hosted by Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño, Alejandro Larrazábal, and Ignacio Pinedo. During the podcast, he revealed that he had six or seven players in mind to fill the fourth spot on his team.

The Spaniard added that one of the players was competing at the DP World Tour's Andalucia Masters. He also hinted that he hoped to sign a Callaway staff player to persuade the brand to associate with them.

Among the Callaway staff players competing at the Andalucia Masters are Angel Hidalgo, who beat Rahm in a playoff at the Open de España earlier this month, and Rasmus Højgaard.

Legion XIII featured Caleb Surratt, Kieran Vincent, Hatton, and Rahm in the debut season.
