Popular golf influencer Paige Spiranac returned to Twitter (and her bedroom) on Tuesday with some hot PGA Tour takes and a question for her thousands of fans.
“Jon Rahm is on an absolute tear right now winning three of his last five starts, and yes, I did pick him to be the outright winner at the Genesis,” Paige Spiranac begins her latest viral video on social media.
“But anytime someone goes on a hot streak like this… we’ve had Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm… the murmurs start, ‘Is he the next Tiger Woods?’
“And let’s be real. We will never see someone like Tiger Woods ever again in golf.
“But let’s not discount their play or the level of talent on the PGA Tour right now. Because it is at an all time high.
“So out of the guys that I mentioned or any current players, who do you think is going to have the best winning record?”
Spiranac then added, “In my opinion, it’s Jon Rahm. He is the most complete player and with his fiery personality I think he’s going to be unstoppable.”

Let’s see what some of the peanut gallery had to say in response to Paige Spiranac’s latest PGA Tour takes.
Correction, there definitely will be another Tiger Woods… Just not in our lifetime probably.

“Totally agree – Tiger as an athlete was fun to watch the crowds would go crazy and the golf playing numbers exploded across the country,” another viewer commented. “Very fun to watch the excitement of the sport!”

The majority of the commenters tended to agree with Paige Spiranac in picking Jon Rahm, but not everyone. Rory McIlroy also got a fair share of mentions.
Jon Rahm never seems to struggle with the putter, like Jordan, Scottie, Collin and Rory do at times. Where's JT? Ok, to be different, I think Max Homa is going to win a fistful of tournaments this year.
