He has finished in the runner-up position at four LIV Golf events this year.

"I would say exactly that, right, trying to get that fourth. Getting one step closer to eventually possibly getting to No. 6. I was able to get three very, very fast, and it's never easy, and I'm hoping I can do sooner than later. But just focusing on that, hopefully getting that fourth."

Speaking about having the crowd cheer for and against the players, he said:

"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."

Rahm also spoke about having his home crowd's support and his wish to give his best shot to win the event. He was a part of the European Ryder Cup team that clinched its fifth title away from home, at Bethpage, New York.
