Jon Rahm hasn’t won a tournament since September 2024. <\/p>\n
Anthony Kim\u2019s improbable, inspiring win<\/a> at LIV Golf Adelaide took over the sports world overnight. Luckily for Jon Rahm, Kim\u2019s triumph overshadowed yet another disappointing Sunday for one of the world\u2019s top players.<\/p>\n This has become a concerning pattern for Rahm, who\u2019s finished solo second in each of LIV Golf\u2019s first two tournaments this season. Despite playing on a less competitive tour with fewer players and easier paths to victory, the Spaniard hasn\u2019t won a tournament since September 2024. Rahm has now played in 26 tournaments worldwide since his last victory at LIV Golf<\/a> Chicago two years ago.<\/p>\n At this point, it\u2019s not hyperbolic to say Rahm isn\u2019t the same player or closer he was before he joined LIV.<\/p>\n Jon Rahm Fails to Close the Deal on LIV Golf Once Again GettyJon Rahm should be concerned about his inability to win on LIV Golf.<\/p>\n Another week, another close call for Rahm on the LIV Golf League<\/a>. One week after losing to rookie Elvis Smylie in the season opener in Riyadh, Rahm entered the final round of LIV Golf Adelaide tied for the lead at 19-under par. No other player in the field was lower than 14 under through three rounds, so Sunday was shaping up to be a two-man showdown between Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not how it played out, as Kim fired a 9-under 63 in the final round and stormed back from a five-shot deficit to win his first tournament in 16 years. Rahm managed just a 1-under 71 on Sunday, while DeChambeau<\/a> limped to a 2-over 74.<\/p>\n As well as Kim played in the final round, Rahm has no excuse to blow a five-shot lead to a 40-year-old who hadn\u2019t finished better than T22 in his first 25 LIV Golf starts. Kim walked away from the game in 2012 and didn\u2019t touch a golf club for years as he battled addiction and mental health issues. It\u2019s an unbelievable, heartwarming story that Kim stared death in the face, rebuilt his life, returned to professional golf and found the winner\u2019s circle in just his third season back, but Rahm should never lose to players like him in a four-round tournament.<\/p>\n A world-class golfer would\u2019ve closed the deal on Sunday afternoon, but Rahm might not be one of them anymore.<\/p>\n Rahm Isn\u2019t the Same Player He Used to Be<\/p>\n Jon Rahm has hit so many double crosses this week<\/p>\n It\u2019s the risk you take when you always aim left for a cut. If you hit it straight or close the face a little, bye bye <\/p>\n Rahm has played in 15 LIV Golf tournaments since his last win in 2024, and he hasn\u2019t finished worse than T11 in any of them. That\u2019s not exactly anything to brag about, as the Spaniard is considered a top-10 golfer in the world and plays on a tour without much star power. If anything, it only proves that he\u2019s lost the skill to close out golf tournaments when they\u2019re there for the taking.<\/p>\n Rahm\u2019s winless drought has also carried over to major championships. Since joining LIV Golf in 2024, the former No. 1 player in the world has finished T45, cut, T7, T14, T8, T7 and T34 in seven major starts. He didn\u2019t seriously contend for a win in any of those tournaments.<\/p>\n Rahm won\u2019t be able to get his mojo back until he returns to the winner\u2019s circle, but the pressure to win only grows stronger with every close call.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tJack Dougherty<\/a> Jack Dougherty is an established sports journalist covering professional golf, Penn State football and the NFL with a focus on the Philadelphia Eagles for Heavy.com.
