The defending champion, Jon Rahm, experienced more than on-course challenges at the recent Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. In an interview with Spanish newspaper El Mundo, Rahm revealed his discomfort with perceived ‘hostile attitudes’ from former PGA Tour acquaintances, adding a layer of complexity to his week.
Despite his struggles on the course, Rahm’s T-45 finish wasn’t the only thing weighing on his mind. He noted a distinct lack of warmth from certain individuals he had not encountered since transitioning to LIV.
Acknowledging the shift in dynamics, Rahm expressed disappointment, particularly with acquaintances he had maintained cordial relations with. Although he refrained from naming names, Rahm hinted at his surprise and that changes in others’ perceptions were their issues, not his.
While Jon Rahm navigates the aftermath of the Masters, his upcoming schedule includes a two-week hiatus before returning to compete at LIV Golf Adelaide in Australia. Fans can anticipate his return to the PGA Tour stage at the PGA Championship in Louisville, Ky., scheduled for May 16-19.
