In a few days, golfers will head to the Liberty National Golf Club for the upcoming FedEx Cup playoffs. The season will come to an end with the 2021 Wyndham Championship, most players already qualified for the playoffs which will commence with the Northern Trust. While some names like Rickie Fowler and Will Zalatoris will miss the FedExCup this year, the focus will remain on Collin Morikawa and Jon Rahm – current favorites to win.

That being said, Jon Rahm will be making it to the playoffs as the World No. 1, looking to only build on that place this year.

Jon Rahm is ready to tackle Northern Trust as the World No. 1

This will be Rahm’s return to the United States after he took home the U.S. Open 2021 title. Fans are already excited over what he has to showcase. He even played the Open Championship, finishing T3. However, Rahm missed the Tokyo Olympics after a positive COVID-19 test. While he is the World No. 1, he is ranked fifth as per the FedExCup standings.

The 26-year-old has played the Northern Trust before, finishing T3 in 2017 and in 2019. Last year, he finished third.
