Jon Rahm Not Impressed With Conduct Of PGA Tour Star At The Masters

Jon Rahm Not Impressed With Conduct Of PGA Tour Star At The Masters

It's fair to say that his defence of The Masters did not go well for recently converted LIV Golf star Jon Rahm.

Competing in a field with PGA Tour stars for the first time since his move to the breakaway Saudi tour, it was always going to be interesting to see how the Spaniard got on in defending the green jacket. He certainly struggled.

Rahm would make the cut at Augusta, but he was never in contention over the weekend. Sitting a five-over after the first two rounds, he would eventually finish up on nine-over and in a tie for 45th place.

Not only was the golfer disappointed with his play on the course, but he was also a bit miffed by the behaviour of one of his rivals off of it.

Many felt that Jon Rahm's move to LIV Golf would be a landmark moment for the sport. He was perhaps the best player in the world at the time, one that had the ability to win quite a few majors over the next couple of decades.

It was also suggested that Rahm's switch would force the PGA Tour to come to a deal with LIV, one that would allow the Spanish star to get a big payday before eventually linking up with the traditional tour.

However, that has not gone to plan so far.

The two tours look quite a bit away from agreeing a deal, while Jon Rahm has not exactly been welcomed with open arms by some of his former colleagues in recent days.

Speaking after his final round at The Masters yesterday, the 29-year old said that while some players greeted him warmly, one PGA Tour star refused to acknowledge him when they crossed paths.

Some did (welcome him). I expected it.

And then, there was someone else who I expected to be a little tougher... and one of them hugged me.

I think that, among all the relationships I have, it has been everything that I expected. My friends are still my friends.

And then someone, with whom I was very cordial and had a positive relationship, has not even looked at me.

If someone changes their opinion of me, it is more their problem than mine. I am not worried.

I knew it was going to happen. I didn't know who.

Considering how controversial his move to LIV Golf was, this probably should have come as no surprise to Jon Rahm.

He will no doubt be hoping to give a better account of himself at the 2025 editions of The Masters.
