Jon Rahm ’s social media post welcoming McKibbin to his Legion XIII team for the upcoming LIV campaign was simple and to the point. “It’s official. Welcome to Legion XIII, @tommckibbin!” came the post from the Spaniard, with an accompanying video which showed Rahm clenching both fists in acquiring his newest member.

Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin has spurned the advice of mentor Rory McIlroy and is giving up a PGA Tour card to join Saudi-backed LIV Golf.

There is another side that believes that the Northern Irish golfer made a good move, feeling that the PGA Tour will lose the status it has.
