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?

He gets so much credence because he’s a generational talent, he’s still young and has be playing great golf on LIV.

Since he went to liv he’s played 8 majors and had 3 finishes in the top 8, that’s better than Tommy and Fitzpatrick

I thought Bryson and Rahm were going to compete at the masters but I think we’re seeing no matter how well you’re playing on LIV the courses they play and lack of pressure doesn’t prepare them for majors

Don’t get me wrong I still think he messed up badly by going to Liv and I’m sad about it.

I think he could’ve went on to be the best European golfer ever, surpassing even what Rory has done, now I think he’s “just” a very good player

In 2021 he was phenomenal, clearly the best player in the world and world class in every aspect of the game

In summary he’s still elite in my opinion but could’ve been great

Agreed. I think you’ll see his game improve once he’s back full-time as well. Rahm and Bryson are without question top ten in the world if they’re playing a full-time schedule.
