Michael Kim Reminds Jon Rahm About Brutal Reality of His Career Amid Golf Break
John Rum was third on the OWGR rankings when he joined LIIV Golf. He got the biggest contract, reportedly around $500 million for that. While he became the individual LIIV golf champion for the second year in a row, his ranking on the OWGR has been constantly declining. And he is not the only one. Many LIIV golfers are sinking in the OGR standings. The discussion about OWGR points for LIIV golfers is one of the biggest debates in the golf world today. Now, an unfiltered moment online has added a new twist to this discussion. After the DP World Tour Championship, Michael Kim took to X to have a Q&A session with fans. One of the fans asked about the most underrated golfer outside the top 50. To this, Kim replied, “John, L.” Michael Kim had this Q&A session with fans as he sort of ended the season with the DP World Tour Championship. It is a final event on the DP World Tour. The seasonl long race to Dubai came to an end as Rory Mroy won his seventh order of merit title. Kim Carter rounds of 64-76-71-69 to finish with eight under 280. He finished T24 in the event where Matt Fitzpatrick won by defeating Mroy in the playoff. Kim’s response was a hilarious dig at John Romh’s world ranking. Rahm is certainly one of the most talented golfers out there. He played in four major tournaments and three DP World Tour events this season and he was impressive in all of them.

John Rom finished T14, T8, T7, and T34 to Masters, the PGA Championship, the US Open, and the Open Championship, respectively. Additionally, he won the LIIV Golf Championship. However, since his LIIV games didn’t give him OWGR points, he fell significantly. He was a world number one at one point and was third when he joined LIV, but now he is 74th on the list. Rahm was 1,545 when he started his career. From there, he climbed to become the world number one in 2020 after winning the memorial. Then he went down to second before reclaiming his top position after the 2020 PGA Championship. Then came 2021 when he maintained his first position for several consecutive weeks. John Rom joined LIIV Golf at the end of 2023 and since then his position has been dropping from the world number three when he joined. Rahm moved down to the 14th position at the end of 2024 and in 2025 his rank is dropping further with every passing week. He played in the Hero Dubai Classic ranked 31st on the OGR and dropped to 34th after the event. The last event on the DP World Terram played was the Spanish Open. After the event, he moved from 73 to 71. However, he is on leave now and with every passing week, other golfers are surpassing
