CHAOS: Jon Rahm HATES LIV”; “He’s so unlikable”: Fans react as Spaniard furiously Slams At…..At UK Event, so bad!!
Jon Rahm is one of the leading contenders for the 2024 LIV Golf UK title, as he enters the final round just three shots off the lead. However, the Spaniard did not look comfortable on day two and even had a controversial interaction with the fans.
The incident occurred on the 16th hole, where Jon Rahm was seen making angry gestures at the noise being made by the fans. He was also seen giving a disapproving look to a fan attending the event.
These actions by Jon Rahm provoked many reactions from X (formerly Twitter) users. One of them posted the following:
“Rahm HATES LIV”
Let’s take a look at some of the other reactions on X:
“Jon Rahm’s career ended when he left the PGA,” one fan posted.
“I thought they like the loud boisterous rowdy crowds loud music etc? #Irony,” another user .
“I don’t understand. Isn’t LIV promoted to the Happy Gilmore bottle-rocket firing, Boombox music crowd? You get what you’re paid for,” another user posted.
“I mean Liv promotes this stuff. GOLF BUT LOUDER. They want their product to be like the WM at every tournament,” another user said.
One of the distinctive features of LIV Golf is the atmosphere, which is much louder than what is traditionally associated with golf. Music and a party atmosphere are encouraged even during the events themselves. In fact, one of the slogans of the circuit is “Golf, but louder is not the first tihe atmosphere at LIV Golf events. In June 2024, Rahm reacted with irritation to the noise made by one of the drones operated by the television broadcasters at the Nashville event.
