Jon Rahm closed off 2021 as the number one ranked golfer in the world. Through his consistent and proficient playing, he has successfully engraved his name on the global level and established himself as a serious power to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, as everyone strives to bring the Spaniard on board with them, VistaJet effectively partnered with him, as his latest sponsor.

Rahm, who relocated to Arizona after his success on the PGA Tour, still has his family back in Europe. Thus, with the constant traveling that must ensue, becoming the brand ambassador of successful airlines seems helpful. With as little as 24-hour notice, he can board a flight to any part of the world. Seems super convenient, doesn’t it! Phil Mickelson, too, became a program member in 2019. Moreover, the 51-year-old is also a license holder!

Rahm took to social media to reveal the news and wrote, “Excited to partner with @vistajet this year, appreciate all they do to get me and family everywhere we need to go. Ready for the California Swing this week!” Furthermore, Rahm was, understandably, all praise for the aviation company. He said, “After flying the Global 7500, it’s hard to fly anything else. Nothing else is comparable. To be honest, I felt like I had a house in the air.”

“I flew the Global 7500 to Spain for a tournament. It was such a good flight! I went from the main cabin to the couch to the back bedroom, which had a library and office space. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen,” he added. “I had my dinner and went to bed and slept a solid eight hours, easily. It was the only time I’ve ever flown over the Atlantic with such a big time zone change and never had any jet lag.”
