LOS ANGELES (AFP) – World number one Jon Rahm says he would happily swap consistency for more victories as he opens his 2022 campaign at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii this week.
The Spaniard heads a star-studded field at the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening tournament in Maui following a dazzling 2021 campaign which included a maiden major victory at the US Open as well as PGA Player of the Year honours.
The 27-year-old also garnered the Vardon Trophy and Byron Nelson Award for scoring average, a reflection of a remarkable consistency which included no fewer than 15 top-10
finishes.
Rahm said on Tuesday he hopes to improve on those standards this year – but admits he would prefer to add to his collection of 13 professional wins where possible.
“My goal is always to do better each year,” Rahm said.
“But I could tell you right now I would gladly take a bit more of inconsistency but have more than one win.”
