The 2020-21 PGA Tour season came to an end, with Patrick Cantlay winning the Tour Championship. Moreover, Cantlay also won the PGA Tour player of the year. However, Jon Rahm gave him a tough fight and missed the PGA Tour player of the year by a whisker. The Spaniard had a hotchpotch year as he had to leave The Memorial event after 54 holes after testing positive. Moreover, he was leading the event with a comfortable margin and was all set to lift the trophy. However, Rahm made a strong comeback as he won the U.S. Open and clinched his first-ever major championship. Meanwhile, he again had to drop out of the Olympics after testing positive once again. Hence, even after having these ebbs and flows throughout the year, he managed to keep his consistent performance and became the World no.1 in the OWGR rankings.

Rahm has 15 top 10s in 2021 and has missed the cut only once. But the only unfortunate thing that happened was that Rahm could not win any event apart from the U.S. Open. But thanks to his excellent performance in 2020 and a consistent display of skills in 2021, he will finish the year as the world no.1 for the first time in his career. Meanwhile, Rahm hasn’t competed on the PGA Tour since the Fortinet Championship in September. And he is all set to return to the Tour after the fall season break.

<h2><strong>Jon Rahm 2023: Net worth, salary and endorsements</strong></h2>
Jon Rahm Rodriguez, popularly known as Jon Rahm, is a Spanish professional golfer. Despite being a lifelong fan of soccer, Rahm's father pushed him toward golf. This led to him beginning to pursue the sport at a very young age.

Rahm later came to the United States and joined Arizona State University. His golf career took off during his time at ASU, and he won multiple championships. Let's dive in to learn more about the many victories and accomplishments of Jon Rahm!
<h2>Early Life and family</h2>
Jon Rahm was born on 10 November 1994 in Barrica, Biscay. The golfer credits the 1997 Ryder Cup in Valderrama as the inspiration behind his career in golf. Rahm's parents fell in love with the sport and encouraged young Jon also to take up the sport. That year, Spanish legend Seve Ballesteros captained Team Europe. He eventually began to play the game when he was 6 or 7 years of age. Growing up, he indulged in a variety of other sports, including soccer, jai alai, Kung Fu, and canoeing. He was a big fan of martial arts as a child.

Rahm's local coach, Eduardo Celles, had first worked with the golfer when he was just 13. Celles had advised a young Rahm to shorten his swing. To this date, the golfer boasts one of the shortest backswings on Tour. The golfer was also born with clubfoot, and doctors had to break his ankle to fix the issue. This led to his right leg being shorter later in life.

Rahm met his wife, Kelley Cahill, a former javelin thrower, at the Arizona State University. Following their marriage, they welcomed sons Kepa Cahill Rahm and Eneko Cahill Rahm in 2021 and 2022.
<h2>Amateur career</h2>
Before joining Arizona State University in 2012, Jon Rahm spoke very little English and had never been to the USA before. It was Phil Mickelson's brother, Tim, the Sun Devil's golf coach at the time, who recruited the Spaniard when he had very few offers. Rahm has credited Tim Mickelson for helping him learn English.

The golfer has admitted that lyrics to rap songs enabled him to learn slang and English phrases not taught in class. He has cited Kendrick Lamar's "<em>Swimming Pools</em>" and Eminem’s “<em>Love the Way You Lie</em>" that helped him out.

Rahm held the #1 ranking in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for a record 60 weeks. He earned that through the success he found at ASU, where he won 11 college golf tournaments. With 16, only Phil Mickelson has won more tournaments in school history. With wins in 2015 and 2016, Rahm became the first player to be awarded the Ben Hogan Award twice.
<h2>Professional career</h2>
After appearing in the 2016 US Open, where he won the Low Amateur title for his T23 finish, Rahm became a professional. His first professional win came at the 2017 Farmers Insurance Open, following which he scripted several impressive performances.

After he won the Open de España in October 2019, he became the fastest Spanish player in history to five European titles, beating his heroes Sergio Garcia and Seve Ballesteros. The golfer also became World No. 1 for the first time ever on 19 July 2020 after winning the Memorial Tournament. He also became the second Spaniard since Ballesteros to achieve this feat.

During the 2020-21 PGA Tour season, Rahm won the PGA Player of the Year Award, given by the PGA of America. He further claimed the Vardon Trophy as well as the Byron Nelson Award for lowest scoring average.
<h2>Achievements in major events</h2>
In June of 2021, Jon Rahm claimed the first-ever major of his career at Torrey Pines. The Spaniard birdied his final two holes to claim the coveted US Open title. He then dedicated the win to none other than Seve Ballesteros.

[caption id="attachment_682111" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-682111 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-06-21T011228Z_1029609846_MT1USATODAY16286965_RTRMADP_3_PGA-U-S-OPEN-FINAL-ROUND.jpg" alt="Jon Rahm" width="1920" height="1228" /> Jun 20, 2021; San Diego, California, USA; Jon Rahm celebrates and kisses the trophy after winning he U.S. Open golf tournament at Torrey Pines Golf Course.

In 2023, he won his second major at the Augusta National at the age of 28. In doing so, he became the first European to win both the US Open and the Masters.
<h2>National team appearances</h2>
In 2018, Jon Rahm was able to book a place in the European team for the Ryder Cup by qualifying. That year, Team Europe beat Team USA 17.5 to 10.5 at the Le Golf National Club near Paris, France.

[caption id="attachment_780089" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-780089 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-09-25T214511Z_1470497569_UP1EH9P1OF9E0_RTRMADP_3_GOLF-RYDERCUP.jpg" alt="Jon Rahm" width="1920" height="1192" /> Golf - The 2020 Ryder Cup - Whistling Straits, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, U.S. - September 25, 2021 Team Europe's Jon Rahm plays out from the bunker on the 12th hole during the Four-balls REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst[/caption]

In 2021, he once again made an appearance for Team Europe in Whistling Straits. That year, Team USA emerged as the winner after beating their opponent 19-9. Rahm went 3-1-1, which included a loss against Scottie Scheffler.
<h2>Net Worth and Endorsements</h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jon Rahm has an estimated net worth of $25 million. After his $3.24 million win at Augusta National in April of 2023, Rahm's career earnings stood at near about $48 million.

A wide array of brand endorsements further supplements the Spaniard's golf income. In the past, he had signed with Callaway Golf Company. However, later in 2021, he entered a new deal with TaylorMade Golf. Rahm has also been tied with brands like Blue Yonder, Rolex, Mercedes Benz, Vista Jet, Silverleaf Club, and more.
