Jon Rahm’s Redemption Arc
After a rocky start to his LIV Golf chapter, Jon Rahm is finally silencing critics with a stellar showing at the 2025 PGA Championship. Once doubted for his league switch, Rahm has climbed back into contention with scores of 70-70-67, landing him T-5 going into the final round.
Chamblee’s Unexpected Praise
Notoriously critical of LIV Golf, Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee surprised fans by praising Rahm, stating, “I miss watching his style of golf. I miss watching him play.” It marks a rare moment of approval from one of the league’s harshest detractors.
Rahm Defends His Form
In a press conference, Rahm cleared the air, blaming his previous slump on swing issues, not the league switch. “My swing was simply not at the level it had to be,” he admitted. Now, his resurgence is being credited to improved accuracy and mental resilience.
Performance by the Numbers
Rahm has racked up 14 birdies and 8 bogeys, with 68.5% greens in regulation and 61.9% driving accuracy. His 42.9% save rate has been crucial in keeping him close to leader Scottie Scheffler.
Can He Close the Gap?
With just five strokes separating him from the top, all eyes are on Rahm to see if he can pull off a final-day miracle. Whether his LIV journey derailed or refined him is still up for debate—but one thing is clear: Rahm is back in the conversation.
