Having made the next step to turn professional in 2016, Rahm continued to wreak havoc in the men’s top tier. He started his winning run the following year and has since made considerable strides.
To put it in context, Rahm has the most wins since turning professional in 2016. Additionally, he’s also on top when it comes to top-5 and top-10 rankings, which highlight his glowing consistency. It is a sort of run that was displayed by Tiger Woods in the 2000s, when the 47-year-old won the majority of his major championships.
