Jon Rahm is "the real deal" and has "all the game in the world", according to TNT Sports expert Oliver Fisher.
Rahm is a two-time major winner, and emerged victorious in LIV Golf’s individual event in 2024 and 2025.
The Spaniard has made a superb start in his bid for a hat-trick, as he followed up second-placed finishes in Riyadh and Adelaide with victory at LIV Golf Hong Kong last week.
With ranking points now on the table at LIV Golf, Rahm’s win last week propelled him back into the top 40 in the world.
His victory at Fanling was a reward for his consistency, and DP World Tour winner Fisher believes Rahm will take great confidence from his success.
"He has his chin up and his chest out," Fisher said on TNT Sports’ coverage of LIV Golf Singapore. "He is trying to show his prowess every time he plays."

Fisher had a close-up look at Rahm on the range, and the 2023 Masters champion made a huge impression.
"Jon Rahm has all the game in the world," Fisher said. "I watched him hit a few balls on the range yesterday. He was flighting it up, flighting it down, flighting it high, and being creative.
"He has those Spanish hands. He does not mind thinking about Seve [Ballesteros], about Sergio [Garcia]. He has elevated himself in his mind to where he wants to be."

Rahm’s victory in Hong Kong snapped a run of 15 LIV Golf events without a win, and Fisher suggested that it emphasised the quality of players in LIV Golf.
"It just shows you it is tough to win, even for Jon Rahm," Fisher said. "He has won in eight countries now, Hong Kong is another one to add to his list.
"As a competitor, everyone has that inside edge. Jon Rahm works on the cusp of being man against the world, and that is probably the intent he takes out."
Fisher feels Rahm’s ability to handle pressure is one of his biggest assets.
"From every part of Jon Rahm's game, he is the real deal, the total package," Fisher, who won the Czech Open in 2011, said.
"Nothing will faze him. He has that stock shot, that fade that he can hit when he is under the gun when his back is against the wall. He has everything: distance, power, touch around the green."

DeChambeau has sights on South Africa
Bryson DeChambeau has made a slow start to the season, and Fisher feels the American will click into gear in South Africa next week.
"He has been hanging around, not far away," Fisher said. "Just waiting for that spark to happen.
"This week we are at sea level, the ball is not going quite as far. He said he can’t wait to get to South Africa next week to hit some bombs, up at altitude in Johannesburg, in that thinner air and see how far it goes."
DeChambeau made a solid start to LIV Golf Singapore and shares the lead at four-under after the opening 18 holes.
