The 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club was a mental examination with only four players finishing under par after day four. Jon Rahm played in this event as an amateur and finished tied 23rd. Rahm impressed at the 2016 U.S. Open when he won the low-amateur award. He turned professional shortly after and this article will review his biggest wins on both the DP World Tour & PGA Tour.

Torrey Pines

Rahm finished second at the 2016 RBC Canadian Open which claimed his PGA Tour card for the 2016/2017 season. Rahm first found his love for Torrey Pines when he won the 2017 Farmers Insurance Open. He held an extremely long putt on the 18th green for an eagle as this putt confirmed his first victory on the PGA Tour. After this win, he shot up in the world rankings to 46 which meant he qualified for the majors in 2017. The win confirmed that Rahm is a special talent and this was the first time that he came on my radar in the world of golf.

2017

Farmers Insurance Open was not the only tournament that Rahm won in 2017. He won in Europe at the 2017 Dubai Duty Irish Open on The Strand Course at Portstewart. This victory showed that Rahm has the game to win all over the world regardless of the course or weather conditions. The Irish Open was Rahm’s first win on the European Tour and he won the title of Rookie of the year in 2017.

2018

Rahm won his national open in 2018 at Centro Nacional de Golf. The Open de Espana was his second win on European Tour. I had the pleasure of playing that course at the 2022 ISPS Handa Spanish Open earlier this year. Rahm shot 20 under for four rounds and this win was significant regarding his development as a professional. He also won another event in 2018 when he won Hero World Challenge which is hosted by Tiger Woods in December 2018.

2019

His best finish on the PGA Tour in 2019 was at the Zurich Classic at New Orleans. Rahm teamed up with Texan Ryan Palmer to win the double format tournament at New Orleans. He also had success in 2019 on European Tour when he won the Irish Open for a second time at Lahinch. Rahm shot a fantastic final round of 62 showing again that he is one of the best players in the world. Rahm kept his best performance for the DP World Tour Championship in 2019 when he won the final event of the season. Rahm was ranked world number three at the end of 2019.

2020/2021

Rahm continued to win the biggest events and on the toughest courses throughout the covid-19 pandemic in both 2020 &2021. Having no crowds did not affect Rahm as he won the 2020 Memorial Tournament at Jack Nicklaus Muirfield Village.

He went to world number one after his win at Memorial. Rahm continued his dominance in 2020 when he beat Dustin Johnson in a playoff at the BMW Championship. Rahm hung around at Torrey Pines at the 2021 U.S. Open for three rounds and holed two extraordinary putts to win his first major on the final day.

2022

Rahm struggled with the flat stick in 2022 but found his game to win the Mexico Open earlier this Summer. He ran through the field at the final day of 2022 BMW PGA Championship to shoot 62. Rahm brought his good form into Open de Espana which took place from Thursday 6th to Sunday 9th October 2022. Rahm was back to his best over the weekend with shooting two rounds of 65 &62 to win the 2022 Open de Espana by six shots. Rahm is currently 10th in the DP World Tour Rankings and still has a great chance of winning the DP World Tour with five events left in the season. The 2022 DP World Tour Championship will be Rahm’s final event of the season on DP World Tour
