LIV golfer and former PGA star Jon Rahm was caught swearing at a fan out of immense frustration during Saturday’s round of the LIV Golf United Kingdom tournament.
Jon Rahm controversially left the PGA for LIV Golf last year, even though he was one of the top players on the former.

In 2022, Rahm stated on several instances that he had no plans to join LIV Golf, citing their tournament format while stressing that money didn’t matter to him.
But Rahm ultimately couldn’t resist the nine-figure contract from LIV Golf. Just as Phil Mickelson, Justin Johnson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed, Bryson DeChambeau, Cameron Smith, Louis Oosthuizen, Henrik Stenson and Branden Grace couldn’t.
