Jon Rahm is trying to lure rising Irish star Niall McKibbin to LIV Golf, a move that would be a surprise given McKibbin's recent PGA Tour card and close association with Rory McIlroy.
Jon Rahm is reportedly attempting to recruit 22-year-old Irish golfer Niall McKibbin to join his Legion XIII team on the LIV Golf tour. This move would be a significant surprise as McKibbin recently earned a full PGA Tour card and has close ties to Rory McIlroy, a vocal critic of LIV Golf. McKibbin is currently competing in the DP World Tour's Team Cup and is also entered in next week's Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
Rahm's team already includes Tyrrell Hatton and Caleb Surratt, and there is an open spot following Kieran Vincent's relegation.
