Butch Harmon confident LIV Golf players will be competitive at The Masters

The Masters at Augusta National is just around the corner, and the spotlight will be on LIV Golf’s top players, including Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, and Joaquin Niemann. With defending champion Jon Rahm making the switch to LIV Golf last year, all eyes will be on him as he looks to retain his green jacket.

Iconic coach Butch Harmon believes that LIV Golf players have just as good a chance at The Masters as their PGA Tour counterparts, despite playing in a different format. Harmon is confident that players like Rahm, Johnson, and Koepka will be competitive and ready to take on the challenge at Augusta National.

While there have been concerns about the preparation of LIV Golf players due to the relaxed atmosphere of their tournaments, Harmon dismisses these doubts. He points out that these players are some of the best in the world and have the talent to compete at the highest level.

Joaquin Niemann, who has been on fire on the LIV circuit this season, is also expected to make a strong showing at The Masters. Despite not receiving Official World Golf Ranking points, Niemann’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed.

Harmon suggests that a simple change in the format of LIV Golf tournaments could solve the issue of world ranking points for players on the circuit. By expanding the fields and playing 72 holes, he believes that LIV Golf players would have the opportunity to earn world ranking points and improve their standings.

As The Masters approaches, golf fans can look forward to an exciting tournament with LIV Golf’s top stars competing against the best in the world. The action kicks off on Thursday at Augusta National, and all eyes will be on Jon Rahm as he looks to make history once again.
