collected LIV Golf\u2019s season-long individual title<\/a>, with his lowest finish all year a T11 in Dallas. Plus, he had two top 10s in majors, with his worst a T34 at the British Open.\u00a0<\/p>\nBeing winless in September is unchartered territory for Rahm. He has won a professional tournament in every year since 2017. <\/p>\n

So how would he characterize his season?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s tricky,\u201d the two-time major champion said Tuesday at Wentworth. \u201cI played really good. I played really good golf. Finished second, I think four times. Came just shy of two playoffs, which is no guarantee I’m going to win, but would like to have a better look at birdie in the playoff.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny time you don\u2019t win, it feels disappointing but my average has been fifth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rahm winning the individual LIV title was controversial. Despite being winless, he edged out Joaquin Niemann, who won five times on LIV this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rahm won\u2019t be giving back the $18 million bonus that he earned by raking up strong results, but the competitor in him would like a victory under his belt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLike [my year has] been good in majors,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things, a lot of good things that happened this year for me to consider the year successful. I just wasn\u2019t able to come over the line some of those weeks. I think it’s the nature of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
All hope isn\u2019t lost, though. He can emerge victorious this week at Wentworth against all of his European Ryder Cup teammates. Then, he hopes to be part of a victorious Ryder Cup squad at Bethpage Black in two weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI certainly think I did some things right [in 2025],\u201d Rahm said, \u201cand luckily the year is not over and hopefully I can end up with a win hopefully this week.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At the BMW PGA Championship, Jon Rahm is looking to accomplish something he hasn\u2019t yet pulled off in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129191,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-129190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129190\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
