Defending champion Jon Rahm is "confident" one of the lucky 13 LIV Golf stars will win the Masters next week.

But 10 of the 13 are Major champions, including seven previous Masters winners.

We are pulling for our friends no matter where they play but it's going to be a battle and hopefully it is a LIV player and hopefully I'm in that top five or challenging on Sunday."
"And it needs to happen fast. It's not a two-year thing. Like it needs to happen quicker rather than later just for the good of the sport. Too many people are losing interest."
