Jon Rahm, hailing from Barrica, Spain, has taken the golfing world by storm with his impressive skills and numerous victories.

Born on November 10, 1994, Rahm began his golfing journey as an amateur player, representing Spain with pride.

During his time at Arizona State University (ASU), Rahm clinched an impressive 11 college golf tournament wins while pursuing a degree in Communications.

This success propelled him to the number one spot in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for 60 consecutive weeks in 2015.

With over 20 career wins under his belt, including notable victories at the 2023 Masters, the 2021 U.S. Open, and the DP World Tour Championship, Rahm’s talent and dedication have solidified his position as one of the best in the sport.

In July 2020, Rahm reached the top of the Official World Golf Ranking after winning the Memorial Tournament.

Despite testing positive for COVID-19 and missing the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Rahm has continued to excel in his career, becoming the second highest-paid athlete in the world, largely due to his lucrative deal with the Saudi Golf project LIV Golf.

Off the course, Rahm shares his life in Scottsdale, Arizona with his wife Kelley Cahill, whom he married in 2019.

The couple welcomed their first child, Kepa, in 2021, followed by their second son, Eneko, in 2022, continuing the legacy of the Rahm family name.
