On August 15th, 2025, we break down the PGA Tour's massive Tour Championship format change and Jon Rahm's comments on prioritizing team victories over individual glory at LIV.

• The PGA Tour is ditching its controversial staggered-start format for the Tour Championship. All 30 players will now start at even par, competing in a traditional 72-hole shootout for the title at East Lake.
• The winner will now claim an official PGA Tour title and a piece of the $40 million prize fund, which is now considered official money.
• This massive change ends the era of calculating starting strokes, creating a simpler, more dramatic, and arguably fairer conclusion to the FedExCup Playoffs.

• Jon Rahm explains his mindset at LIV, downplaying the $18 million individual finale to emphasize the importance of the team component, arguing that shared victories are more meaningful and create a unique bond among players.
• "The team win is always, always very special, but when one of us gets to win as well, it makes it even better."
• Rahm pointed to Dean Burmester's recent win, noting Burmester "almost seemed happier to celebrate with a team than win himself" as proof of the concept.

VP JD Vance plays Trump Turnberry • Jason Day & Shane Lowry can't tell Rahm's eye from Scheffler's • Phil sinks a putt with a giant putter and declares it "in play."
