Jon Rahm ’s social media post welcoming McKibbin to his Legion XIII team for the upcoming LIV campaign was simple and to the point. “It’s official. Welcome to Legion XIII, @tommckibbin!” came the post from the Spaniard, with an accompanying video which showed Rahm clenching both fists in acquiring his newest member.

Twenty-two-year-old Tom McKibbin, who is currently 21st in the European Ryder Cup rankings, will join Rahm’s Legion XIII and play alongside him, Tyrrell Hatton, and Caleb Surratt. McKibbin hails from Northern Ireland and grew up playing at Holywood Golf Club, the same course Rory McIlroy played as a youth.
