Jon Rahm’s Shot Sparks Mayhem at PGA Championship
During the third round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Jon Rahm delivered more than just power drives—he delivered a direct hit to a fan’s head. What started as a routine approach shot on the 11th hole veered off course and turned into a viral moment after it struck a fan squarely in the skull, shocking both the crowd and CBS commentators.
Unexpected Collision at the 11th Green
Rahm’s ball sliced left off the fairway and struck a crouching fan attempting to dodge. The ball ricocheted across the green, adding a chaotic twist to an already tight leaderboard. Despite the alarming impact, the fan appeared uninjured and even smiled afterward, receiving a hug, a signed glove, and a ball from Rahm.
Not Rahm’s First Rodeo
This isn’t Rahm’s first accident involving fans. Similar incidents happened at the 2018 PGA Championship, the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational, and even the 2023 Open Championship. In each case, Rahm checked on the fan, offered signed memorabilia, and continued play with minimal disruption. While unlucky, these repeated mishaps are starting to raise eyebrows.
Fans React with Jokes and Jabs
Social media lit up with reactions. Barstool’s Liam Blutman joked, “Rahm just murdered somebody,” while others called for the PIF (which funded Rahm’s $300M LIV Golf deal) to pay the injured fan millions. Some even suggested tournament-goers start wearing helmets.
Humor Meets Concern
Although most incidents ended without serious injury, some fans are starting to question Rahm’s accuracy—and luck. As one sarcastic user put it, “At least he got a signed glove to go with the brain damage.” Despite the jokes, the repeated nature of these incidents is becoming part of Rahm’s unpredictable legacy.
A Reminder of Golf’s Wild Side
While golf is known for precision, Rahm’s accidental fan strikes show it’s still a contact sport—for spectators. With Rahm still in contention and the tournament heating up, fans might want to keep their heads up—and maybe wear a helmet, just in case.
