Jon Rahm wants the European Ryder Cup team to be as strong as it can possibly be in 2023, which has led him to strike a moderate tone when it comes to those who defected to LIV Golf.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday ahead of the CJ Cup in South Carolina, the Spaniard said it's "important" for Team Europe to have a welcoming stance toward its potential players to keep team chemistry in balance.
"So far the two Ryder Cups I've been a part of, once you arrive and you're in that team environment, it's an unusual situation where everybody can be truly themselves with players that they maybe usually are not," Rahm said. "So you need to have that welcoming aspect. If there's some animosity between players, it's just not going to work out. Very few teams can succeed when players don't get along."
