Former world No. 1 Jon Rahm made a dramatic move to LIV Golf ahead of the 2024 season.
And while Rahm’s bank account is undoubtedly a good bit more full, the superstar Spaniard may well regret that decision less than one full year in.
Rahm’s performance in the majors slipped mightily this year, finishing 45th at The Masters before missing the cut at the PGA Championship and taking a tie for seventh at the British Open (he withdrew from the U.S. Open before it started due to injury).
But more than that, Rahm seems to be genuinely hating his experience on the LIV Golf Tour.
Last month, a hot mic caught Rahm in the middle of an expletive-laden rant after a drone interrupted his backswing, leading to a drive into the water.
“Every tournament. It’s f—— incredible. Right in my backswing. These f—— drones every time,” he said.
Well, if it’s not the drones, it’s apparently the fans.
Rahm began Saturday’s second round of the LIV Golf UK event at JCB Golf and Country Club with a two-shot lead. By the time he reached the 16th hole, he was three shots behind leader Andy Ogletree.
Rahm missed his second shot on the hole short and right, leaving him in the rough short of the green. But before he could take his third shot, he stepped away from his ball.
“Yell on our f—– backswing you d—head,” he then yelled at a fan.
Rahm went on to make bogey, putting him four shots behind Ogletree.
After an opening round 63, Rahm shot 70 on the second day of the tournament and finished three strokes back of the lead in a tie for fourth.
He’s yet to win on the LIV Tour, and it appears he’s not exactly enjoying his golf either.
Safe to say his list of regrets is growing with each passing week
