“It’s a tough golf course to score on” – Jon Rahm ‘surprised’ after failing to make the PGA Championship cut
LIV Golf superstar Jon Rahm missed the halfway cut at the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. With the projected cut line at 1 under par, Rahm failed to make the cut at the Major as he shot rounds of 70 and 72.
Rahm has not missed the cut at any of golf’s Major tournaments since the 2019 PGA Championship at Bethpage Black in New York, before his switch to the Saudi-based LIV Golf League where he plays and captains his team Legion XIII.”Surprised” by his finish, Rahm told LIV Golf:
“Surprised. Surprised because of how I felt like I was hitting it in Australia and Singapore and in the week off before coming here, especially off the tee, hitting great drives – and that’s what’s been my downfall. I just couldn’t find a fairway off the tee. You can make birdies off the fairway, but off the rough, it’s a tough golf course to score on and that’s kind of what happened to me.”

Jon Rahm ended his streak of 18 consecutive cuts made in Major tournaments with a missed cut at the 2024 PGA Championship. Rahm shot rounds of 70 and 72 respectively for rounds one and two, totalling his 36-hole score to even par, to miss the cut by one stroke.The Spaniard told LIV Golf that thoughts about missing the cut first entered his mind after he carded in a bogey for the par-four fourth hole of Valhalla Golf Club:
“I was just hoping to get one more and clear myself. But yeah, when you’re playing bad you kind need the extra motivation some kind of way. It was on my mind and the swing wasn’t quite there, but with the putter, I felt comfortable.”
“I was just begging to give myself some kind of a chance and I could never give myself anything on the last three holes. I think it was 25 feet. 25 feet and 60 feet, which I’ve been less nervous over some putts at distance in my career, that’s for sure,” he added.
