PGA Championship: LIV Golf stars Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau have wildly different major weeks during Aaron Rai's Aronimink win

As the PGA Championship delivered one of the most congested fields in major history until Aaron Rai’s win, LIV Golf’s two marquee names experienced vastly different weeks at Aronimink Golf Club.

Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau were both among the pre-tournament favourites to win the Wanamaker Trophy, having both enjoyed two victories each on LIV Golf this season and contended at last year's PGA Championship.

Whereas Rahm was able to secure a tied-second finish, equalling his best major performance since winning The Masters in 2023, DeChambeau failed to reach the weekend and finished joint-last of the 11 LIV Golf players in the field.

Rahm had finished outside the top-30 at The Open and The Masters, leading to questions about a perceived drop-off in results and LIV Golf not offering the best preparation for majors, but Rahm was able to silence many doubters with his performance.

"As far as I'm concerned, to be in the mix again and hit it as good as I did and perform as well as I did this weekend, it's been a great week," Rahm said. "Can't really ask too much more of myself."

The former world No 1 was chasing a third leg of the career Grand Slam and looking to become the first Spaniard to win the PGA Championship, with the major also his first since confirming his Ryder Cup future after settling his long-standing fines dispute with the DP World Tour.
