Jon Rahm shared his disappointment with his show at the 2025 LIV Golf Team Championship in Michigan. The Spanish Golfer lost his match play game against Adrian Meron on Friday. However, his team managed to reach the semi-final after winning the other two matchups.
In the post-round press conference, Rahm opened up on his performance and he hilariously said that his daughter, who could not even stand, could have putted better than him. He said, via ASAP Sports:
"Match play is never easy. It's extremely fun. As it goes to my match, I played well. Adrian played well. I just think my daughter, who can't even stand, would be better with a putter than me today. Hopefully I can fix that. It was close, but I didn't make anything. Then Tyrrell had a battle out there with Richard Bland.
"I think he said in the post-round interview, it's a golf course that suits him very well. He hits a lot of fairways, great wedges, great putter, so he was always going to be tough. The young boys did what they needed to do. Coming down the stretch, tied match, finished birdie, birdie on 18 and 1 to get it done," he added.
Jon Rahm, who has a net worth of $100 million, welcomed his third child with his wife, Keley Cahill, in September 2024. They were blessed with a baby girl named Alaia.
Rahm posted candid snaps of his newborn on Instagram on October 1, 2024 with a caption:
"So blessed to have welcomed our daughter Alaia Cahill Rahm into the world last week. Mama and baby girl are both healthy and doing great, I can't wait to get back home to them."
Jon Rahm gave a glimpse of the baby in the second picture of the post. He had previously been blessed with two sons. His first child, Kepa, was born in 2021, and his second one, Eneko, in 2022.
Jon Rahm calls victory against Joaquin Niemann 'bittersweet'
Joaquin Niemann finished tied for fourth on the weekend, three places off his sixth victory of the year. The Chilean finished at -17 and saw Jon Rahm, who finished the year with four runners-up finishes, win the individual championship title. The Spanish golfer addressed the difference in Niemann's results and called his win "slightly bittersweet."
The 2023 Champion, fresh off consecutive playoff losses on the breakaway tour, played down his form and appreciated his opponent for "incredible golf."
Jon Rahm said after winning the LIV title on Sunday, as quoted by ASAP sports:
“Still slightly bittersweet. Like I know I'm supposed to be happy. It's a great moment. But it just doesn't feel great to finish the year losing two playoff games. Have a great Sunday today and then hit the pin and an unfortunate moment on the playoff hole… You need a lot of coincidences to go on exactly with the year Joaquin (Niemann) had… He's won five times; he's played incredible golf.”
The European Ryder cupper admitted that a case could be made for Niemann being "more deserving" of the championship win.
