Jon Rahm’s wins over the past few years have earned him the World No. 1 spot. Easily one of golf’s best, Rahm is popular on and off the course. However, it looks like the 27-year-old is nowhere near done. According to veteran Pat Perez, Rahm has only gotten started with what he wants to achieve.
The PGA Tour star has taken home six PGA Tour wins till now, including the 2021 US Open victory. His success has extended to the European Tour as well, the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai being one of his latest wins.

While on GOLF’s Subpar this week, Perez spoke of Rahm, and how he might just dominate the upcoming 10 years. Though one might say Rahm has achieved more than enough already, the golfer has a long way to go.

“I think Jon Rahm is the guy for the next 10 years,” Perez said. “I don’t think anyone is going to beat Jon Rahm consistently for a decade.”
Of course, Rahm himself seems determined to win majors. As per Perez, Rahm mentioned getting to 19 major wins and passing one legend in the process. “He goes, ‘I’m not done until I win 19 majors … I’m not going to take off golf until I get to 19. Whether I do it or not doesn’t matter. But I am not quitting until I pass Tiger (Woods) on that list.”

Though winning 15 (or more) majors is no common feat, Rahm has time to actually carry out his dream. Already the No. 1 for multiple weeks now, the six-time PGA Tour winner may just have a shot. That being said, no one can deny that Rahm is already on his way to greatness. However, only time can tell how many majors will he take home in his career.
