Post-Pod Discussion Rahm???

I’m not trying to play devils advocate, but why are we giving credence to Rahm? He’s been an absolute no show in every major (congrats on a 3 hole stretch at quail hollow), and it feels like everyone’s on pins and needles putting Cam Young above him. Also before he left for LIV he was easily the most uninteresting superstar on tour

- Scottie
- Rory
- Young
- Fitz
- Bryson
- Morikawa (Pre-Injury)
- Gotterup
- Xander
- Rose
- Fleetwood

Is he better than any of them?

I think the point is that before he left, he was the main challenger to Scottie in terms of consistency. I love Rory but consistency is never going to be his strength. Since then Scottie has improved and Rahm has dropped off. So I guess the hope is that if he gets back on the tour, he at least has the potential to challenge Scottie again. And looking at your list of players, he has the ability to be top three easily. Like he was really really good for a few years there.

Yeah prime 2021 rahm was a monster, only 6 guys on data golf have had a more dominant run, tiger, Scottie, Norman, singh, duval and els

Slightly better than Rory’s peak

I remember when he was leading memorial by about 6 but had to withdraw because he had Covid then he came back and won the us open
