The news of Phil Mickelson’s voracious gambling was not as big of a shocker as the amount he gambled was. And today thanks to Jon Rahm, we found out that the lure of making gambling money on the greens is a daily occurrence that goes unnoticed.

After Mickelson, it looks like another prominent PGA Tour player was set up in the trap of gambling on the greens, and to send away the evil for good, Rahm wishes for the PGA Tour to intervene in the matter and enforce effective results. Let’s dive into the story.

Jon Rahm makes big revelations about on-course gambling issues

This week Jon Rahm, with other top 29 players on the FedEx rankings, will be performing at the Tour Championship. With a $75 million prize purse and the chance of playing at the Ryder Cup, the stakes are as high as they could ever be. But besides the game, there is another grave concern that is bothering the players on the course.

During the event’s press conference, one of the media persons revealed that there was a fan who was trying to influence Max Homa at the BMW Championship as he had made a bet on his missing the putt.

But thankfully Homa made the putt. But the matter is of grave concern as it could affect the sport in terrible ways. That reporter asked Rahm if he has any concerns about that going forward and through his reply, Rahm made a shocking revelation.

 He said, “I feel like we hear it every single round. That happens way more often than you guys may hear. I mean, it’s very, very present.” He said that since the spectators are very close, players can hear them talking, even if they are not directly interacting with them. Players hear all the bets that the audience makes among themselves.

Rahm continued, “So it happens more often than you think, yeah. But not only that, on the tee and down the fairway.” He said that those tidbits might not get caught on TV but definitely they prevail on the course.

Rahm wants the PGA Tour to step into the matter

The reporter further asked if the PGA Tour should step in and do something about it. Rahm answered, “I think the TOUR maybe should look into it because you don’t want it to get out of hand, right? It’s very easy, very, very easy in golf if you want to affect somebody.”

According to him since the spectators are too close, anything they say at the wrong moment could cost so much. But he also understands that this is not an easy task since Tour will find it very tough to handle a crowd of 50,000 people. 

And he also doesn’t want the fans to miss the experience of live golf due to these things. Well, fans do go there to enjoy a good game and will find it a bummer if they can’t do so.
