Jon Rahm has been tipped as the man to beat for the next decade as he bids to end his trophy drought in the inaugural Mexico Open.

Rahm has not tasted victory since claiming his maiden major title in last year’s US Open, a run which has seen him replaced as world number one by Scottie Scheffler, whose Masters triumph was his fourth win in the space of 57 days.
