Jon Rahm, one of the biggest names LIV Golf lured to its renegade series, criticized the league's 54-hole tournaments in an interview ahead of the Masters.

LIV Golf was started as the rival alternative to the PGA Tour. The organization lured top players to its series with big money and different rules, including team play and 54-hole tournaments. Jon Rahm suggested LIV Golf conform with the PGA Tour in an effort to unify golf on one of the key aspects. He said the series should have 72-hole tournaments.

If there ever was a way where LIV could go to 72 holes I think it would help all of this argument a lot,' he told BBC. 'The closer I think we can get LIV Golf to some other things the better. I think it would be for some kind of unification to feed into a world tour or something like that. I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I definitely wouldn't mind going back to 72 holes.' It’s not the first time Rahm took aim at the key tenet of LIV.

He finished the most recent LIV event in Miami tied for fourth. Dean Burmester picked up the win, outlasting Sergio Garcia and Matthew Wolff.
