Jon Rahm names the soccer players Scheffler and McIlroy would be

GNN Desk card: Jon Rahm names the soccer players Scheffler and McIlroy would be

Jon Rahm has a Masters and a U.S. Open on his résumé. Now he has put two of the biggest names in golf onto a soccer pitch.

HITC reported that Jon Rahm named the soccer players Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy would be if they weren't golfers.

It is a light take on three players with real hardware. Rahm won LIV Golf Hong Kong and LIV Golf Mexico City in 2026, and Scheffler won The Open and the PGA Championship in 2025.

Four straight Masters, three winners.
