Jon Rahm’s LIV Golf team will introduce a new member in 2025 following the relegation of Kieran Vincent, with several stars on the Spaniard’s wishlist.
The two-time major champion spearheaded his Legion XIII side to a superb second place in the team standings last time, finishing only behind Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC. When stunning the golfing world with his defection to the rival tour last year, the 30-year-old was immediately named captain of the LIV team that includes Tyrrell Hatton and Caleb Surrat.
However, as we slowly approach the 2025 season, Rahm will soon need to announce a new signing for his team due to the relegation of Vincent from the league this year, reports the Mirror.

While Rahm and Hatton both endured tremendous individual seasons, the 2023 Masters champion will no doubt target a fourth player who not only has the skills to compete in LIV, but also to thrive individually. Here’s how Rahm’s dream 2025 line-up could look….

The British golfer had a successful debut season with LIV, having joined the league in January. Hatton finished third in the individual standings behind only Joaquin Neimann and his Legion VIII captain Rahm. His top three finish earned him a $4million (£3.1m) bonus on top of the whopping $12m (£9.4m) he made during the campaign.
The 33-year-old earned his sole tournament win of the season at LIV Golf Nashville in June and proved to be a valuable member of Rahm’s team, which finished second in the LIV standings this past season, just eight and a half points behind champions Crushers GC, led by DeChambeau.
