Jon Rahm has been an ambitious golfer since he turned pro, and at every event, he proves his resolve time and again. Ever since his rookie days, the Spaniard had a fire within to win and it has only grown stronger with time. And so have his golfing skills.

In 2021, he jumped to T5 at the Masters. He could almost taste victory swiftly approaching. He also made it into T3 of the Open Championship and T8 at the PGA Championship. However, his greatest achievement in 2021 was his maiden Major win at the US Open, where he claimed the title along with $2.25 million in winnings.
Although 2022 was an unremarkable year for the Spaniard golfer, he made a stunning comeback in 2023 with not only his T2 finish at Royal Liverpool, but also accomplished a long-time goal. Finally, he donned the green jacket for winning the 2023 Masters Tournament. As the PGA Tour said on their Instagram, “Jon Rahm’s major record is no joke.”

Another admirer of Rahm had a lot to add about his incredible skills. They wrote, “Jon Rahm has convinced me that he has the best chance to get to 10 and maybe more majors, his 63 on Saturday was as strong as any round in a major in years, some get their rounds — there are rounds described as Tiger like but Jon truly showed the golf world what a TW like round really looks like, Jon played pissed off on Saturday & it would be really interesting if he played every round like that.”
