Rahm's team is comprised of Caleb Surratt, Tyrrell Hatton, and Kieran Vincent. The Spaniard finished at 10-under, while Surrat and Hatton finished at 5-under and 7-under, respectively, after three days at LIV Golf Mayakoba. Vincent aggregated 5-over after completing 54 holes.

Fans online congratulated Rahm's Legion XIII for their win in LIV Golf's season opener. Here's a look at some of the reactions:

"Damn this team was formed 6 days ago too 😂"
"Legion 14 has a bright future"
"The composure to battle back after that tripple bogie was impressive for the young guy. Exciting team to watch"
"If Patsie perez can get to within 20 he should be the winner baby!!!"
"Looks like Rahm has put on the freshman 15 already, still 15 events to go. He might look like DJ Khalid by the end of the season.#motivation"
"Caleb must be the designated driver.."
"can we get a view of the “crowd” please"
"The highlight of his career to date"
"Glorified member-guest. What a joke!"
"Vincent blasted the rookie lol, rookie on rookie violence right there 😂"
"Kieran spraying 19 year old Caleb with an alcoholic beverage could be contributing to the delinquency of a minor. 😂😂😂 #18inMexico loophole"
"Adam Hayes has to be shooting himself.... this is an absolute clown show."
"If you put on an over the top celebration and no one watches it, did it really happen?"
"That should be an end of the season style celebration. Imagine if every football game or basketball game the winning team celebrated like they just won the championship."
"Posted 2 hrs ago and 39 comments lol. One of the most talented golfers of his time and Rahm still doesn’t move the needle."
"Wow look at them they are all getting fat. Too little competition, too much money for nothing. Easy street make you soft and lazy, albeit rich I do say."
"Probably the same number of fans watching this dumpster fire."
"Honest, misunderstand what LiV doing?…"
"Such hype around nothing"
"HAHA! So embarrassing"
