Jon Rahm is a formidable opponent in the world of golf. As the number one player in the world golf ranking, he has proven himself time and time again on the green. Rahm recently spoke at a press conference prior to the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, Florida, about his confidence in his ability to win at his best.
Rahm confidently declared that no one can beat him when he is at his best. While some rivals may share the same level of confidence in their own potential, Rahm remains steadfast in his belief in his own abilities. However, he also acknowledged that playing at one’s best is not always necessary to win.
Rahm told a story about a meeting he had with Tiger Woods about playing your best during the press conference.“We talked about it with Tiger, I asked him about his 82 victories on the PGA Tour and how many times he played at his best all four days.”
“He told me maximum three,” Rahm recounted. This conversation highlights the fact that even the greatest players have off days and do not always need to be at their best to achieve success on the green.
