The LIV league is all set to begin its newest season in Las Vegas in February. However, Jon Rahm is yet to have his squad ready for the first event.
Currently, Rahm reportedly has the Zimbabwean professional golfer, Kieran Vincent, as his teammate. Previously, there was speculation that Tony Finau would be joining the Spaniard's team. However, Finau has reportedly made it clear that he is not leaving the PGA Tour.
Additionally, as per some reports, Wyndham Clark is also planning to switch to the league. If this comes true, Rahm could potentially include Clark as another member of his LIV team.

“Jon Rahm's Legion XIII is finalizing their roster as the signing of one of the game's top amateur players, Caleb Surratt. Additionally, he will be adding a player from the promotions event. This leaves one spot, which will likely be filled by 2023 US Open Champion Wyndham Clark”
