"You have to be absolutely KIDDING ME!”: Jon Rahm erupts after missing a putt shot at LIV Golf Riyadh

The 2025 LIV Golf Riyadh tournament has ended, and Jon Rahm suffered a frustrating moment during the final round. The Spanish professional golfer missed a putt shot, causing him to speak out, visibly frustrated by the play.

Rahm is a former PGA Tour player who plays in the European Tour and LIV Golf League. He won the Masters tournament in 2023 and had a T2 finish at the Open Championship in the same year. The 30-year-old golfer has two LIV Golf wins and was competing in the season opener LIV Golf Riyadh.

In the final round of the tournament, Jon Rahm aimed for a birdie putt on 18, but narrowly missed. Clearly frustrated, he said:

"Oh boy. You have to be absolutely KIDDING me.”

Despite Rahm’s frustrating play, he still finished strong, tying for second position with Sebastian Munoz. Torque GC’s Adrian Meronk shot a 17 in the final round and finished in first position in a wire-to-wire victory, which marked his first win in the LIV Golf League. He rounded 62, 66, and 71 after being closely followed by Rahm and Munoz.

Although Jon Rahm didn’t win the LIV Golf Riyadh individual title, his team, Legion XIII, won. They started the game strong and remained in the lead until the final round, where they finished at 50-under par, 11 shots ahead of Ripper GC and RangeGoats GC.
