Jon Rahm Is Worth A Lot More Than You Think

While Jon Rahm, 26, sits in the three spot on the Official World Golf Ranking 2021, reported ESPN, he still makes bank. The Spanish pro golfer entered the upper echelons of the golfing world by winning the Farmers Insurance Open in January 2017, a year after he turned pro.

He attended Arizona State University, where he won 11 college tournaments, coming close to Phil Mickelson’s number-one ASU record of 16. But Rahm would also reach the top, and was first in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for 60 consecutive weeks, said Celebrity Net Worth, and won the Ben Hogan Award twice (2015 and 2016) and the Mark H. McCormack Medal (2015). Other major wins include the CareerBuilder Challenge (2018, per PGA Tour), the Spanish Open (2018 and 2019, per The Golf Channel), the Memorial Tournament (2020; again, PGA Tour) and the BMW Championship (2020).

Since going pro, Rahm earned more than $1 million each year on the PGA Tour, reported the South Hampton Golf Club, who added that the golfer comes in fifth compared to players like Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka

Before anybody asks, yes, if I’m at Augusta and I’m playing well and she starts getting, you know, starts, I’m flying back. I would never miss the birth of my first-born in a million years.”

Will Rahm surpass that legacy one day? Rahm commented about comparisons to his idol when talking to the The Guardian in 2019: “I’ve said it many times, as a Spanish player, as a Spaniard, any time you have the chance to put your name on a list where there’s only one name and that name is Seve, it’s pretty impactful.”
