Jon Rahm was quite happy after Legion XIII clinched the 2025 LIV Golf United Kingdom title. It is worth noting that last year, Rahm and his team both picked up wins in this event.

"Obviously picking up Tom this year is a massive addition, right? He's a phenomenal player. With all four scores counting this year I thought we played to our advantage. It showed early on and it's showing now."
Rahm also credited Caleb Surratt for his incredible contribution towards the team's victory.
"I was looking forward to Caleb hopefully having a good tournament and not needing to birdie something like the last four holes for us to win. Good to see the scoreboard and see just that. He's a phenomenal talent."
Legion XIII has maintained its place atop the LIV Golf Team standings with a total of 218.66 points. The team is leading the standings by a big margin. Crushers GC is second with 172 points.
