LIV Golf season opener: Tyrrell Hatton joins Jon Rahm, Caleb Surratt's debut

The third LIV Golf League season tees off in Mexico on Friday, and there figures to be much attention on this opener after Spain's Jon Rahm became the latest major championship winner to jump from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf.

Playing team golf and only 54 holes will be adjustments for Rahm, the No. 3-ranked player in the world. So will a later start to the season. A year ago, Rahm had already played in three PGA Tour events, including victories at the Sentry Tournament of Champions and the American Express.

"It's definitely a different feel to what I'm used to, golf being quite an individual sport," Rahm told reporters Wednesday in Mexico.
