2026 Fantasy Outlook

Rahm came into the 2025 season having won the LIV Golf Individual Championship during his debut year in 2024, finishing in the top 10 in every tournament he finished while winning two of the last three events of the season. He was Mr. Consistency once again in 2025, and despite not winning a single LIV Golf tournament, he was able to outlast Joaquin Niemann to win the Individual Championship for a second consecutive season while also leading his Legion XIII squad to the Team Championship. Rahm had solid outings in the major championships -- including top-10 finishes at the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open Championship -- but those kinds of performances don’t mean much when it comes to the four biggest tournaments in golf, though he did play a key role in Team Europe’s Ryder Cup victory over the Americans. Rahm will enter the 2026 season looking to three-peat as LIV Golf champion while adding a third major championship to his trophy cabinet. Read Past Outlooks

Tied for second at PGA Championship

May 17, 2026

Rahm recorded a two-under 68 in the final round of the PGA Championship to finish tied for second with Alex Smalley and three strokes behind winner Aaron Rai.

ANALYSIS
Rahm was one of several players that made the cut who took advantage of the more forgivable pin locations Saturday, ending with a three-under 67 that ended with a bogey on the 18th. He was part of that cluster of players at four-under heading into the final round and two strokes back of Alex Smalley for the clubhouse lead. Rahm teased a third-career major victory after opening Sunday with back-to-back birdies, but the Spaniard dropped a shot on both the third and seventh holes. He gave himself plenty of birdie opportunities over the course of the final round but only converted on the ninth and 16th holes, which wasn't enough for him to keep up with Rai. Although he fell short at Aronimink, it was still an encouraging performance out of Rahm and his best finish at a major since his victory at The Masters in 2023. He was also the best out of the LIV Golf contingent, with Cameron Smith (T7), David Puig (T18) and Joaquin Niemann (T18) rounding out those on the breakaway tour who finished in the top-20. Rahm will tee off at two LIV tournaments (Korea and Andalucia) before the U.S. Open Championship in mid-June, where he finished T7 in 2025 at Quail Hollow.

Once one of LIV Golf’s biggest critics, Rahm rocked the golfing world in December of 2023 when he opted to defect from the PGA Tour to the breakoff league. Other than the initial list of signees for the inaugural 2022 season, Rahm has arguably been the largest name to sign with LIV Golf, which was reflected in his captaincy of the newly minted Legion XIII team composed of Tyrrell Hatton, Caleb Surratt and Kieran Vincent. Rahm was the only golfer in the LIV Golf league to finish in the top-10 in every single tournament he finished (he was forced to withdraw from Houston due to an infection in his left foot), and his victories at LIV Golf UK and Chicago propelled him past Torque GC captain Joaquin Niemann for the LIV Golf Individual Championship. Rahm finished first in GIR and in the top-10 in birdies per round, scrambling, putting average and driving distance. His major performances left much to be desired, however, as he finished T45 in his defense of the Masters before missing the cut at the PGA Championship and withdrawing from the U.S. Open Championship. Rahm did manage to finish T7 at The Open, and he was agonizingly close to winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics before blowing a four-shot lead on the back nine of the final round to finish T5. Rahm will be in the field for all four major championships in 2025.

Rahm racked up three wins before the start of March before a couple poor starts. He rebounded with an incredible weekend performance at the Masters to win his second career major championship. It looked like we were in for a historic season, but runner-up finishes at the Mexico Open and Open Championship were his only finishes better than T10 over the last 10 events. Scottie Scheffler also out earned Rahm by nearly $5 million despite having two less wins. With news of Rahm signing a deal with LIV Golf that will limit his only events in 2024 to the four majors. While it's possible he finds himself in contention in a couple of them, Rahm is not really someone you should target in salary cap formats because of the limited upside.

Rahm had a victory at the Mexico Open, eight top-10's and 13 top-25's with only one missed cut in 19 starts. That is an incredible season for most every other player on Tour, but for Rahm it felt extremely pedestrian. In 2020-21, the Spaniard was the undisputed best player in the world by whatever metric you wanted to use, but last season Rahm just could never put it all together. He led the PGA Tour in SG: Off-the-Tee and was third in GIR percentage, but what really stuck out was 143rd in SG: Around-the-Green and 182nd in putts per round. Those two numbers are extreme outliers if you look in comparison to Rahm's first five years on the PGA Tour. Expect a big bounce back in 2022-23 from what many consider to be the best pure talent in the world of golf alongside Rory McIlroy.

After all of these years, Rahm finally got his major. OK, it was actually just five years as a full-time member on the PGA Tour, but it felt longer. Rahm established himself among the elite of the elite golfers in the in 2020-21 season, as he not only picked up his first major, but he also posted an incredible 15 top-10s on his way to more than $7.7 million. There's no question that Rahm will continue to get better, the only question is how good can he be. A few players can stake a claim to being the best in the world, and Rahm is anong them. That said, his salary cap prospects aren't good because there's not much room for improvement unless he goes ballistic this season.

Rahm was cruising prior to the break this past year, as he posted four top-10s in just five starts, but he struggled to find much traction after the PGA Tour's return in June. That changed when he picked up a win at the Memorial Tournament in July and another at the BMW in August. Rahm is clearly an elite golfer already and all he's missing is a major. That should change sometime very soon and while he'll likely post some big numbers this season, his cap number is just too high for salary cap purposes this season.

Rahm is in a similar position to a few other players on the PGA Tour in that he's well accomplished already, but he's yet to have that breakthrough moment. Then again, he's only 24. It's hard to believe that this guy, who has earned over $15 million in three full years on the PGA Tour is still just a young pup. Rahm will only get better from here as his breakout win is just around the corner. He's capable of posting a number north of $8 million, which puts him in the conversation for a salary cap selection this season, but obviously, at this number, there's a lot of risk.

There aren't many players on the PGA Tour that could finish inside the top-25 on the FedEx list and consider the season a disappointment, but that's exactly the case for Rahm. Rahm, by most accounts, is destined for greatness on the golf course and in this day and age where greatness emerges immediately, the fact that he's fallen behind some of his peers is a little concerning. The good news for Rahm however is that he's only 23. All of these "young guns" on the PGA Tour right now. Rahm is younger than just about all of them. He has plenty of time to figure everything out. For starters, he needs to work on his temper, which will continue to hamper his progress, especially at the majors, but it's not like he's in uncharted waters there, many before have had similar issues. Rahm will get it figured out and at his current price, it might be worth betting on him figuring it out this season.

Rahm came in with very high expectations this season, but somehow, he managed to exceeded them. Rahm came on the scene late during the 2015-16 season and it was clear that he had a lot of talent. The funny thing about talent though is, unless you have the mental fortitude to back it up, it won't get you very far. Rahm still needs to work on a few things, namely his temper in big spots, but there's no reason to doubt him going forward. Even though his number for this season is very high, he's still worth a look in salary cap formats as he has enough game to significantly improve this season.

Rahm made quite a splash in his first foray onto the PGA Tour and will now have a full year to perform. We expect some good things, but also some speed bumps for the promising player. Don't get too hyped up; he'll be playing with the big boys on a regular basis now. Let's wait and see before we enshrine him in the golf hall of fame.
