Following last month's news that LIV golfers would be eligible to compete at the 2023 Masters, Jon Rahm said he foresees heightened tensions at the Champions Dinner.
Augusta National Golf Club Chairman Fred Ridley released a statement last month announcing plans to allow golfers who already qualified for the tournament based on its previous criteria to be eligible to play in April.
"Regrettably, recent actions have divided men's professional golf by diminishing the virtues of the game and the meaningful legacies of those who built it," Ridley said at the time."Although we are disappointed in these developments, our focus is to honor the tradition of bringing together a preeminent field of golfers this coming April.

The list includes Bubba Watson, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Patrick Reed and Charl Schwartzel, all former PGA Tour members who defected toBut outside of an awkward dinner, Rahm doesn’t believe those tensions will carry over to the course.
