However, the World No.3 has requested the golf community to help him in naming the team with a bit of particularity. Rahm intimated the “social media” that he is “open to suggestions” as a post for the same has been shared by LIV Golf on X. However, the Spaniard wanted the viewers to “think out of the box” and not suggest only a Spanish name, as he is “not the only Spanish player over there in LIV Golf.”
Rahm will be heading his new team, though the new players for it are soon to be announced. It has been reported that the players joining Rahm’s team are going to be from the PGA Tour as well, to be specific, Tony Finau and Tyrell Hatton. Although there has been no confirmation from the soon-to-be captain or the player’s side. Whoever joins the team, may be under the name as suggested by fans below.
Fans attempt the perfect name for Rahm’s team
After Rahm requested the name, the fans had a spree of suggesting various unique and relatable names for the Spanish golfers. The first one is “Diablo” as Rahm comes from the land of Spain and is in contact with Callaway. This fan found it more suitable.

Another chimes in and suggests the same and one more if Rahm doesn’t like the first one.
It's Diablo if Callaway is involved. Matadors if not

Taking the creative path, this fan replaced the Ramen noodles with “Rahmen” instead and wanted the team to be called that.
Rahmen’s noodles . Bro you simply have to use this name!

Another did the same. However, the name would be “rampage” as they would create havoc in the LIV once formed.

As money was the major factor behind Rahm’s defection to LIV, this fan recommended it to be the name.
